About
Amadeo Terra, former cigar-factory worker, is confined in a Florida hospital after a paralyzing stoke. His body no longer works, but his mind is very much alive. One day, the taste of mango on his tongue brings memories flooding back of his life in Havana, including some long-buried facts.

"A searing, bitterly humorous analysis of a life."
Booklist
"Medina crafts a complex, rewarding novel out of a static setting….[He] skates perfectly between Terras specificity and the universality of his plight, making Terra, his flaws and his struggles all the more compelling."
Publishers Weekly
"Medina writes with exquisite detail…he keeps readers hanging until the last page…Recommended."
