I bought this book and am in the process of reading it on my Kindle. The story develops slowly but is interesting enough to keep the reader moving forward. This fictional story revolves around the early history of Las Terrenas and the people that lived there. It follows their struggles to survive during the Trujillo Era in the DR. The author weaves a story around a family that has survived despite the odds being against them. Entertaining read. 7 out of 10 Coconuts.
