"Extraordinary and evocative, the stellar "Anna in the Tropics" is a work of art."-Christine Dolen, "Miami Herald" This lush romantic drama depicts a family of cigar makers whose loves and lives are played out against the backdrop of America in the midst of the Depression. Set in Ybor City (Tampa) in 1930, Cruz imagines the catalytic effect of the arrival of a new "lector" (who reads Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" to the workers as they toil in the cigar factory) has on a Cuban-American family. Cruz celebrates the search for identity in a new land.
