There they hope to recapture the passion, desire, and carefree spirit that once united them. In a stunning juxtaposition of narrative voices, they each tell their own story. ***Rich in hallucination, myth, and fantasy, Farewell to the Sea is a brilliant apocalyptic vision of today's Cuba, by a writer whom Octavia Paz calls "remarkable".'
