El Manana: Memorias de un exodo cubano (Texto Completo) (Tomorrow ) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" having lived a number of years in So FL,i always wanted to know more of the cuban immigration. i thought this was VERY informative and really enjoyed it. "

" A Cuban American's account of Castro's Cuba and events she experienced surrounding the 1980 Mariel boatlift which brought over 125,000 Cuban exiles to southern Florida shores. Was informative and well written, but did not connect on an emotional level, just didn't make me really feel the inner experience of it, which for me is the primary attraction of the memoir. However, author went on to win a Pulizter for her contribution to a series of articles published in NY Times. "

" This is a really great book. My father is Cuban, so I'm constantly struggling to better understand the history of Cuba and what Cubans have gone through. Mirta Ojito writes a powerful and interesting story of her own experience in Cuba and intertwines it with key facts and historical accounts. Of all the Cuban memoirs I've read, this one is my favorite. "

" Former parent and good friend wrote this book, good read! "

" Worth reading, Ojitos gives an journalistic description of the events leading from the Marielitos leaving Cuba to the arrival to Florida, during the Carter administration. It answers questions I had about this event and some of its implications, in a way that reads more like fiction, a page turner. "

" This story moved me b/c it is based on my country! "

" Interesting look at a person's view of Cuba who didn't know Cuba before Castro and her journey out of Cuba. "

" It took a bit of reading to get into this book but I did. The more I read, the more I liked it. I liked learning more about Cuba. "

" Another great memoir of the Mariel, Cuba boatlift in 1980. The author tells her personal story through direct historical accounts of the major political players invovled. Another hard book to put down. I may be going to Cuba as a result of this book! "

" Excellent read if you are interested in Cuba's revolution and the impact on Cubans who now live in exile. "

" The Mariel boat experience of a young girl.... I eventually met the author and she is talented and personable woman. "

" It was a good insiders perspective of growing up in Cuba and the people who worked on trying to help Cuba and Cubans but also wanting out. "

" This book is about the Mariel boatlift from Cuba to Miami. My sister-in-law is Cuban, so I was interested to read it. The author came over during the boatlift when she was 16. The book goes between her own experience, and the world-wide events that lead up to this happening. A very interesting read. "

" As the child of Cuban immigrants, this was a fascinating read that gave me a better perspective on the history going on during the Mariel boat lift - the well-researched history made it even more compelling. "

" Enjoyable book about a time and events I hadn't really thought about much before. I like that the author alternated between personal narrative and historical events. "

" Very interesting, learned some Cuban history! "

" This is a beautifully written memoir with well research history woven into the chronicle of the Mariel boatlift. It is also available in Spanish and I have recommended it to refugees I meet from Cuba who attend Cultural Orientation classes. "

" Fascinating memoir of growing up in Cuba and participating in the Mariel boatlift. The author researched more than her own story, also telling how Mariel came about and the fates of some others who were involved. There is an audiobook in Spanish called El Manana. "

" Finding Manana is a really interesting memoir, which I learned a lot from. It is well written and provides the reader with great insight of Castro's Cuba and the political circumstances prior to the exodus from the country from April to September 1980. "

" Mirta Ojito writes beautifully and I learned a lot about the Cuban Exodus that I didn't know. I can now speak with so many of the people I meet here in Miami with a better idea of what their lives were like in Cuba. This book should really be required reading in schools. Fascinating. "

" I learned a lot about what it must be like to leave the home you love. The Cuban exodus to South Florida is very complicated and heart breaking. I recommend this book. "

" Mirta describes her life growing up in Communist Cuba and then the experience she went through when her and her family finally fled the country. After reading this book, I felt more appreciative for the freedoms we have here in America. It was a well written memoir. "
