"Extraordinary and evocative, the stellar Anna in the Tropics is a
work of art."-Christine Dolen, Miami HeraldThis 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.
