Summary:
This memoir shines light on Hemingway's life in Cuba, his working habits, his state of mind, and his love for the island and its people. We do not intend to defend or criticize the man but to detail the events of the time and the place as my father perceived and remembered them.Also, this is a book about my father's childhood and young manhood, about his home, his land. It is an account of two very different lives connected by a chance encounter in 1939.
