Review #119: Mockingbird by Julie Trimingham



My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Cuba is such a beautiful country, and everywhere you go, there's music and people dancing - especially in Havana.
----Julia Sawalha, an English actress

Julie Trimingham, a Canadian author, penned her debut novel, Mockingbird, that explores motherhood, ghosts from the past, inner turmoil and the Cuban culture.

Synopsis:
Cuba. Music. Love. Theft. An out-of-work actress travels to Havana in search of purpose. Her entanglements there are filled with mixed motivations, selfishness and altruism, love and peril, faith and disaster. Mockingbird charts the hurricane-fraught course of Mia's journey back home. As Mia says, "Legal and moral are hardly the same."
