Our Last Days in Barcelona

"Chanel Cleeton has a cinematic way of making multigenerational stories tangible, weaving lives together like threads in a tapestry. In her recent novel Our Last Days in Barcelona, she alternates timelines about three women whose lives are irreparably affected by the injustice they see in their homelands. Cleeton shows the butterfly effects of oppression and rebellion in Cuba and Spain and what happens when you’re forced to choose among loyalty to your country, family and love. Our Last Days in Barcelona is a master class in family and political drama, in star-crossed love stories and in capturing the enormity of what home is."
