We'll be reading Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban. Discussion will start April 30th. "Set in Havana, Brooklyn, and the Cuban seaside in the 1970s, Dreaming in Cuban unravels the lives and fortunes of four women of the colorful Del Pino family. Celia is the aging matriarch faithful to Fidel . . . Felicia is her mad (and possibly murderous) daughter . . . Lourdes, her other child, is a capitalist counterrevolutionary . . . and her daughter, Pilar, is an artistic punk filled with impossible Cuban dreams."
I noticed that there were also several copies of the book on BookMooch so you may want to check that out. Thanks so much everyone for voting (and working with my schedule!). I hope this is a book we'll all enjoy.

Oooo. I can't wait. Thanks Iliana.
Golconda . . . hmmm, I visited the fort of Golconda in Hyderabad several years ago.
Nothing much is left now, but I lingered on where they used to sell diamonds and pearls in its prime.
