Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC) to welcome distinguished novelist

>> About The
Woman She Was:
 
The “Woman She Was”
tells of 35-year-old Celia Cantú, a Cuban paediatrician whose day-to-day life is unremarkable—or so
it seems on the surface. She lives in a somewhat rundown apartment in East
Havana and is engaged to Luis Lago, a high-level member of the Cuban government
she has known since childhood. She enjoys
her work and adores Liliana, the 16-year-old niece she is raising. But three
things are about to shatter the serene surface of her life.
 
Celia begins to have hallucinations
wherein, for a few seconds at a time, she feels as if she is not herself but Celia
Sánchez, the revolutionary heroine for whom she was named. She considers these
mental aberrations abnormal but hesitates to seek psychiatric help. Instead,
she decides to visit the historic headquarters of the Cuban revolutionary army
where Celia Sánchez lived (with Fidel Castro) during the war. Celia Cantú
reaches La Comandancia, high in the Sierra Maestra mountains, where she has an
encounter with a man that deepens her doubts about her own sanity.
