Publisher's summary

Este libro relata la vida de una familia y unos acontecimientos que cambiaron para siempre la historia de América Latina. Como nadie más podía hacerlo, Juanita nos adentra en el mundo familiar de los Castro, desde su infancia y juventud hasta las nuevas generaciones, pasando por la gesta contra Batista, la Revolución y el posterior desencanto de muchos. A lo largo de este fascinante relato desfilan los míticos personajes de la Revolución Cubana. Fidel y Raúl Castro, Camilo Cienfuegos, Ernesto “Che” Guevara y Celia Sánchez, entre otros, muestran aquí su faceta menos conocida. Juanita lleva más de cincuenta años guardando un doloroso secreto que hasta sus hermanos desconocen. He aquí el valiente relato de quien ha decidido revelarlo todo.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Critic reviews

“María Antonieta Collins es una talentosa periodista mexicana con instinto y oficio para narrar.” (Carlos Alberto Montaner, Escritor y periodista)

Artículo destacado: Personajes con iniciativas sociales que han cambiado el mundo


Sus vidas y obras inspiran, ilusionan, deslumbran, desilusionan e invitan a no rendirse por trivialidades en una época marcada por la pandemia. Por esta selección de audiolibros desfilan deportistas, políticos, víctimas, revolucionarios, activistas y varios más. Guevara, Merkel, Frankl, Davis, Frank, Zapata y Jebb son algunos de los personajes que queremos recomendarte. Lo que todos tienen en común es que han sido fieles a determinada causa.

Interesting read

What did you love best about Fidel y Raul, mis hermanos [Fidel and Raul, My Brothers]?

This book had an interesting point of view. I understand why she did it, but I found the gringo accents of the CIA agents really annoying.

Interesante

Nunca me había interesado el tema de Cuba. Aunque soy de PR pero eso no afectó a mi generación por qué para ese tiempo era adolescente y ya sabemos como son los adolescentes. Pero me gustó escuchar la versión de un familiar de Fidel, me gusto q fue neutral. Que pena q se distanciara de su familia. Recomiendo la lectura de este libro.

narradora empolgada.

mesmo sem falar espanhol consegui entender o livro inteiro, exceto por uma palavra (sou brasileiro). a narradora interpreta bem os personagens, até o sotaque do Tony Sforza.

Otra versión de los hechos

Siempre es bueno saber de todas las partes de un hecho-etapa histórica.
Definitivamente ha sido enriquecedor para mi saber de la historia contada desde la perspectiva de este personaje. Conocer la otra cara de la moneda... especialmente del Che Guevara.
Recomiendo escucharlo

Great work of fiction

What did you love best about Fidel y Raul, mis hermanos [Fidel and Raul, My Brothers]?

It was somewhat of a comedy, if you are familiar with the protagonists. Juanita came up with a fantastic work of fiction.

What could Juanita Castro have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Well...she could have told the truth but then I would not have laughed as much.

Have you listened to any of Tatiana Vecino???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have no basis to compare...I had never heard of her.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The fictional Castro Family, as seen by the eyes of Juanita, the greatest fiction writer of all times.

Muy bueno, lo recomiendo

Lo recomiendo. Excelente obra y muy buena narración. Contiene información histórica que permite evaluar el tema cubano y la información recibida en los medios sobre Juanita. También nos gustaría conocer la versión de Fidel o Raúl.
