Interesting book about Americans living in pre-revolution Cuba.
From the back cover: "This astonishingly wise, ambitious and riveting debut novel is set in the American community in Cuba during the years leading up to Castro's revolution -- a place that was a paradise for a time and for a few. Young Everly Lederer and K.C. Stites come of age in Oriente Province, where the Americans tend their own fiefdom -- three thousand acres of United Fruit Company sugarcane. When Fidel and Raul Castro lead a revolt from the mountains above, K.C. and Everly begin to discover the brutality that keeps the colony humming."
