Product Overview
At six years old, Rivero moves with his mother to Santiago de Cuba, where he grows up during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. At seventeen, his life takes a dark turn when he is sent to a UMAP forced labor camp, targeted for his beliefs. The Price of an Ideal, winner of the 18th Málaga Novel Prize, follows Rivero's struggle to reconcile his religious faith with the demands of a repressive regime. Through well-researched narrative and a simple, flowing style, Kevin Legrá offers a powerful portrait of life in revolutionary Cuba.
