Fernando Terry returns to Havana for a month, after eighteen years
in exile, lured by the possibility of finding "La novela de mi
vida, the lost memoirs of the poet Jose Maria Heredia. The novel
also happens in two other temporal planes: Heredia's life at the
beginning of the 19th century, and that of his son. Jose de Jesus
de Heredia, a mason who lived at the beginning of the 20th century.
Gradually, the lives of the characters create unsuspected
parallelisms, as if Cuban history finds outlets for its fury on the
individual destinies of those who stand out for their talent:
accusations, exiles and political intrigues have a place in the
lives of all creators, regardless of the historical period in which
they live. This book is a history of Cuba and a trip to the root of
its national conscience through the life of its first great poet.
