«Te di la vida entera» is the novel by Zoé Valdés, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (238 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Cuca, a young woman who has an intense, brief romance in Havana during the Cuban revolution. When her lover disappears, Cuca devotes her life to her daughter. Their relationship becomes strained when the daughter, now an adult, turns patriotic and distances herself from her mother: love, disillusionment and family ties marked by politics.
In 1996, the novel was a finalist for the Planeta Prize; it belongs to the Spanish and Latin American Authors Collection.
Recommended for readers of contemporary and historical fiction interested in revolutionary Cuba and family dramas.
