The Island of Eternal Love is a sweeping, genre-blending novel by acclaimed Cuban author Daína Chaviano, where magical realism meets family saga, historical fiction, and spiritual mystery.
In the heart of Little Havana, Cecilia, a lonely woman haunted by her past, begins visiting a neighborhood bar where a mysterious storyteller named Amalia weaves an intricate tale spanning continents, centuries, and bloodlines. As Cecilia listens, she becomes drawn into the story of three families bound together by unshakable love and the island of Cuba itself—its soul, its music, and its secrets.
With echoes of Isabel Allende and Edwidge Danticat, Chaviano paints a rich portrait of Cuba through the years: its golden musical age, the underworld of mobsters, and the turmoil of revolution. It’s a novel that’s as melodic and haunting as the boleros that flow through its pages.
