«Te di la vida entera» is the novel by Zoé Valdés, published in 1998 by Editorial Planeta in hardback (348 pages, in Spanish).
Cuca Martínez arrives in Havana at sixteen and falls in love with Juan, who disappears without a trace. Years later they meet again on the eve of the Revolution, but the political context and Juan's shady dealings force her exile. Cuca, like Cuba, waits for the return of her dreams while her country sinks into repression.
Finalist for the Planeta Prize in 1996.
For readers of twentieth-century Cuban fiction and romantic stories with a historical backdrop.
