"De este país lo que hay que hacer es irse de una vez."

ángel nunca se habría imaginado en una situación así hambriento, extenuado y con la duda de si sobrevivirá un día más. Pero el futuro de su familia no tiene precio.

Olas sumerge al lector en un mundo de dominó, ron, puros habanos, sexo, drogas y boleros, a la vez que traza un paralelismo entre tres episodios de éxodo cubano a Estados Unidos. Un libro sobre Cuba que no toma partido con izquierdas ni derechas, sino con gente de a pie, sofocada por las circunstancias. Un homenaje al emigrante, sus esperanzas y sacrificios.

Please note This audiobook is in Spanish.

Olas [Waves] (Audible Audio Edition) Jose Ramon Torres Alexander Rodriguez Books

I am an American, so I have never had a view of what people who emigrate to the United States have to experience that causes them to leave their own countries. However, I did live in an area that was similar to what some of these people were going through. Except, I did not want to leave my country, I just wanted to leave my neighborhood for a much better neighborhood. This book offers me an inside, personal look at what people are having to endure and risks they are willing to take to get to a better life.

What Olas taught me was what people are willing to sacrifice so they can get out of their corrupt countries. Corrupt leadership is only interested in pay-off's and the bigger, better deal for themselves while all the time they are passing laws that restrict and hold citizen's hostage. This leaves them at the mercy of politicans who care nothing for them.

This family was willing to sacrifice their own lives fighting against sharks just to get out of Cuba; even if they lost their own lives in the jaws of said shark. Their situation must have been really dire to have to risk life and limb for a better life in a strange place that they have never seen. I have gotten pretty emotional while reading this book.

As an American, I would make two suggestions:

1) This book should be published in English so English-speaking people can understand what these people go through

2) To know just how blessed we are to live where we do because there is always someone out there who is struggling so much more than we are.

I do highly recommend this book because I want people to know that there are thousands and thousands of whole families looking to make a better life for themselves in a place where they are treated as valued citizens. My heart goes out to the people who have to suffer through the events laid out in this book.

Olas [Waves] (Audible Audio Edition) Jose Ramon Torres Alexander Rodriguez Books Reviews

El autor muestra un dominio perfecto del castellano, gracias a esto la lectura de este libro se vuelve una gratisima experiencia.
Nos adentramos en la vida de los protagonistas del libro, personas sencillas pero a la vez llenas de los mismos conflictos que todos los cubanos de la era postcastrista cargamos a la espalda. Es unico en muchos aspectos...cada lector se llevara algo diferente. Yo pude oler las calles de Cuba en estas paginas. El olor de la Habana!!!
Gracias Jose Ramon.
I have read Olas in its Spanish version this summer. The author gave me a copy and told me about the novel. It was a great opportunity to talk directly with the author because he explained me his feelings about Cuba, his native country, and all the difficulties for Cuban people to have a "normal" life. His thoughts and opinions about the past and present life in Cuba were very interesting and engaging. So, it was a sort of a preface for my reading. A real preface. made by the same author! When I started to read the novel it was as I already knew the characters and their efforts to have a better life far from Cuba, their beatiful island. One of the aspects that struck my attention was this mix of different feelings hope, fear, pain, disappointment. And it was inevitable thinking about all the migrants that come every day to the coasts of my island (Sicily). Their crossing the Mediterranean sea reminded me the same journey made by Cuban people to reach the USA. The same dangerous journey, the same hopes.
Mr. Torres has been able to depict with his novel what has become part of the lives of many Cubans, immigration. Through his excellent mastery of the Spanish language, he has portrayed the life and aspirations of many Cuban families. I can't wait for his second novel.
Lectura amena que les hará recordar momentos de la historia reciente de Cuba. Para los emigrantes cubanos, esta obra de ficción, escrita con derroche de cubanía, nos hará identificarnos con sus personajes, pues de una manera u otra, hemos vivido experiencias y tribulaciones similares en nuestra peregrinación por el mundo.
Este libro esta muy interesante, bien escripto, y habla mucho de la cultura de Cuba. Aprende muchos cosas que las persona hacen para salir de un corrupto pais y las cosas que hacen para tener una buena vida. Este libro me abrio mi mente de pensar. Las paginas en el estrecho de Florida son inolvidable. Recommiendo a qual quiera persona que lei este libro. Aprenderá mucho. Cinco estrellas.
