The Attraction of Cuba by Chris Hilton
A WORLD NOVEL FROM ENVELOPEBOOKS: Chris Hilton went to Havana in the early 2000s to escape the drudgery of daily life in England - and, boy, did he escape it. Suddenly he was mixed up with a variety of gangland chancers, some Cuban, one British, all living on the edge of legality. There was always a risk of their schemes getting rumbled by the police but that's what made it so compelling: the chance, the danger, the adrenalin rush. And then there was Jamilia - a refugee from rural poverty, who'd come to the big city as a teenager, and been rescued from the streets by an unnerving family of small-time criminals. "A little crazy is good," Jamilia tells Chris - and a little crazy is what they became, living hard, loving hard and downing a deal of Cuban rum. But how long can craziness last? And what happens when good fortune turns to bad?
Chris Hilton has visited Cuba over thirty times and lived there twice. The events described in this book took place in the early 2000s, during the final years of Fidel Castro and the coming of the internet, and proved life-changing for all those involved: the author, his friends and his enemies.
