Divided in a "biblical" in several "books" connected by a Rembrandt painting, red thread of a very instructive story (including the second in the 17th century Amsterdam), all on very very critical background watered (we can understand ...) of the current Cuban society, this book suffers from sometimes endless lengths, and a write (or translation) and somewhat heavy prétentieuse.J'avoue having a little trouble to the end! the third book, Edith, get there as "a hair in the soup" and liaison with other appeared to me somewhat arbitrary.
