The book is likely to engage readers interested in Cuban history, particularly the fierce quest for freedom that has driven the Cuban people throughout the centuries. The opening of the book introduces the island of Cuba through the eyes of Christopher Columbus, highlighting its beauty and potential right from its discovery.
