Vanishing Maps

by Cristina García

Sarah's take

I recommend *Vanishing Maps* for its poignant exploration of identity and the deep emotional ties that bind generations together. Cristina García beautifully captures the complexities of belonging and the longing for home, making it a perfect read for anyone who has ever felt the pull of their roots or navigated the spaces between cultures.

About the book

Multiple generations of a Cuban family scattered across the world grapple with the revolution's aftermath and what home means when geography becomes memory. García weaves together voices from Havana to New York, exploring how political upheaval reshapes identity and belonging across decades. A profound meditation on exile, family bonds, and the maps we carry within ourselves when the external ones disappear.
