Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction The debut novel by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Kushner, called "shimmering" (The New Yorker), "multilayered and absorbing" (The New York Times Book Review), and "gorgeously written" (Kirkus Reviews). Young Everly Lederer and K.C. Stites come of age in Oriente Province, where the Americans tend their own fiefdom--three hundred thousand acres of United Fruit Company sugarcane that surround their gated enclave. If the rural tropics are a child's dreamworld, Everly and K.C. nevertheless have keen eyes for the indulgences and betrayals of the grown-ups around them--the mordant drinking and illicit loves, the race hierarchies and violence. In Havana, a thousand kilometers and a world away from the American colony, a cabaret dancer meets a French agitator named Christian de La Mazi re, whose seductive demeanor can't mask his shameful past. Together they become enmeshed in the brewing political underground. When Fidel and Ra l Castro lead a revolt from the mountains above the cane plantation, torching the sugar and kidnapping a boat full of yanqui revelers, K.C. and Everly begin to discover the brutality that keeps the colony humming. Though their parents remain blissfully untouched by the forces of history, the children hear the whispers of what is to come. Kushner's first novel is a tour de force, haunting and compelling, with the urgency of a telex from a forgotten time and place.Binding Type: Paperback

Love these washcloths
Color: Dark Color Series, Style: Mesh Pattern
My husband and I really like these wash cloths. They have held up well in the wash. They maintain there color and do noe bleed. They have maintained their course texture on one side and are still soft on the other. We had a wash cloth similar to these but it became soft and ineffective after several washes. We are happy with our purchase.

Great product
Color: Dark Color Series, Style: Mesh Pattern
Lathers nicely and doesn’t stay wet when you hang to dry. The exfoliating side is very nice. Machine washable and a great substitute for a loofah. The most I’ve seen in a pack is 6 so I was happy to see an 8 pack for cheaper than the others I’ve seen.

Decent price for 3 again works great, easy to use and store & good quality. Does shed if you peel the product. I’d definitely buy again !

Cliganic Organic Cotton Round, good quality(so nice to your face), and affordable
Size: 300 Count
Love these Cliganic Organic Cotton Rounds. They hold up well and are gentle on my face. I only have to use one per night to complete night time routine. Thick enough to use the other side.
