Armando Lucas Correa, The Night Travelers

With his finger always on the human pulse of historical events, Correa opens his third novel with the impossible decision a free-spirited poet must make to protect her mixed-race daughter from Hitler’s racial laws. He then follows the heartache that her grown daughter endures, having to send her own daughter away to save her life during the Castro revolution. As the story slips forward and backward through eighty-six years, from Germany, to Cuba, to New York and back to Germany in 2015, the family recovers pieces of their matriarchs’ stories, with revelations about the husbands, lovers, friends and betrayers in their lives.
