Blurb (from back cover): "Like her native Cuba, Garciela Altamira is beautiful, defiant, passionate, and constantly threatened with some kind of trouble.
"Far from her tropical home, toiling in a New Jersey doll factory, Garciela longs for the same happy ending that seems always to come in her beloved telenovelas-a kiss powerful enough to erase the sins of her past and the haunting memory of her homeland.
"But how can she forget when she lives among the ghosts of the little Cuban town? With Caridad and Imperio-two women Garciela has known since girlhood-by her side in the factory, it seems she'll never be free of her past, never truly able to pursue the possibility of love she finds quite unexpectedly in the cold, gray New Jersey winter.
"Tomorrow They Will Kiss is a novel as irrestible as gossip, as addictive as soap opera-a tale of love pursued at any cost, of how friendship and history unite us for better or worse, and of the hope for that redemptive kiss capable of reconciling estranged lovers and countries."
Opinion: A pretty good story that focuses on 3 different main characters. A relatively quick read. For a complete review, check out MyShelf.
