Industry Reviews
"At its best, LOVING CHE has some of the quality of WIDE SARGASSO SEA (also set in the Caribbean), Jean Rhys's haunting novel....[Menendez] has a keen ear for dialogue, along with perfect pitch for the nuances of Cuban culture....[Her] strengths are her idiosyncratic, poetic prose and her unsentimental insights about all things Cuban."
Washington Post Book World - Ann Louise Bardach (02/15/2004)
"[Evokes] the flavor and feeling of Havana, both the exotic and the dismal....On balance, convincing and compelling."
Kirkus (10/01/2003)
"Menéndez is at her best when depicting...social detail, revealing what life is like for many Cubans today. She captures Cuba's potential, its desperation and decay, and also its dark humor."
New York Times Book Review - Ruth Lopez (02/08/2004)
