Waiting for Snow in Havana by Carlos M N Eire
A survivor of the Cuban Revolution recounts his pre-war childhood as the religiously devout son of a judge father who fancied himself a reincarnated King Louis XVI, and describes the conflict's violent and irrevocable impact on his friends, family, and native home.
Eire, Carlos: - Carlos Eire was born in Havana in 1950 and left his homeland in 1962, one of fourteen thousand unaccompanied children airlifted out of Cuba by Operation Pedro Pan. After living in a series of foster homes, he was reunited with his mother in Chicago in 1965. Eire earned his PhD at Yale University in 1979 and is now the T. Lawrason Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale. He lives in Guilford, Connecticut, with his wife, Jane, and their three children.
