Next Year in Havana follows two different timelines. The first timeline tells the story of Elisa in 1958 Havana, Cuba, and the second timeline follows Elisa’s granddaughter, Marisol, as she travels back to Havana to scatter her grandmother’s ashes.I loved both Eliza and Marisol but for some reason I felt more connected with Eliza and her story!Her story was so intense I have so many feelings and I find myself crying at some points.Marisol life was easier but still I love her she was strong heroine!
