Entertainment Weekly


(Starred review) Florida native Cleeton, drawing on her family history, brings the charm of 1950s Havana to life in her first novel.… An enticing and wonderful read for lovers of historical fiction and soul-searching journeys. —Adriana Delgado, Palm Beach Cty. Lib., Loxahatchee, FL
Library Journal


(Starred review) A poignant tale of aristocracy, subterfuge, tyranny, conflict, corruption and courage during the Cuban Revolution.… Next Year In Havana is an extraordinary journey that connects the past and present and will enthrall readers until the very end.
Romance Times


Romance… leavened with a sizable measure of earnest political history… Somber and humor-free, the novel feels uncomfortably strung between its twin missions to entertain and to teach detailed, repetitive factual lessons.
