In this lively memoir, told with engaging wit and emotion, Alberto
Gonzalez Rivero, poor country boy, masters English, earns his
university degree, and embarks on a bright teaching future.
Suddenly economic disaster strikes his family and almost all Cuban
families during the "Special Period" of the1990s. Alberto, now the
young father of two little daughters, struggles mightily to keep
food on the table. Just when things are looking especially grim, a
chance encounter with Reverend Raul Suarez of the Martin Luther
King Center in Havana provides him with the chance to utilize his
special gift and training in languages as the interpreter for
visiting delegations - and eventually as a translator for Fidel
Castro himself. Each chapter begins with a brief description of
Cuba during the decades after the revolution."
