![]() It completely surprised me in so many ways. Oh my goodness, what can I say about this book. One minor correction – one would build a raft and an oar, not an ore. I did like the surprise twist at the end, but it is some of the details after that where things didn’t quite mesh. Things got off to a very slow start as the foundation was laid, and I found some of the things revealed at the very end were implausible, and not in keeping with how the story had developed to that point. It is a story at the personal level of people who have been separated by those 90 miles, or have lost families, sometimes forever, and the people who risk everything to help. The story unfolds, and we learn more facets about the 50 year stand-off between the US and Cuba. ![]() We have developed an attachment to characters, and suddenly, they are gone. Then, with a loud blast, the action begins. The basic story history was laid down first, so the reader meets the characters, becomes comfortable in their home in paradise, and is lulled into a laid back Key West style frame of mind. ![]()
