Story
Desde una patria a punto de esfumarse, dos familias de distintas regiones de Prusia, los Schipper y los Hahlbrock, huyen, junto con su pueblo, en un éxodo suscitado por los horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Prusia existía separada de Alemania aunque no de su fervor nacionalista ni de las bombas que extinguen una vida y perdonan otra.

Afganistán, 2004. La doctora Edith Lombard, de Médicos Sin Fronteras, hace guardia en un hospital de Kabul. Al atender a una joven en quirófano advierte en su cuello algo que atrae su atención: un collar del que cuelga una perla de ámbar. Una perla que Edith reconoce enseguida, pues fue robada en su casa de Quebec dieciocho años antes, en un atraco en el que su madre falleció de un disparo. Una perla de la que su padre, Édouard Lombard, había contado que perteneció a la famosa Cámara de Ámbar de San Petersburgo, desparecida durante la II Guerra Mundial.

Story
Australia nació como una colonia penal. A finales del siglo XVIII las cárceles inglesas estaban llenas a rebosar, y, tras la reciente revolución americana, el gobierno necesitaba buscar un nuevo lugar donde deportar a sus delincuentes convictos. Así fue como eligieron una remota costa situada en el otro extremo del mundo, cuyas tierras había reclamado el capitán Cook para la Corona británica poco tiempo atrás, en las cuales no había absolutamente nada.

Publisher's summary
Un thriller en gran parte ambientado en Cuba, que se extiende por tres generaciones de la misma familia en vísperas de la revolución Cubana, la testaruda Francesca Pacelli, de 18 años de edad, huye de su despiadado padre, un jefe de la mafia en La Habana, a los brazos de su amante, un rebelde que lucha con Fidel Castro. Su padre, desesperado por enviarla a la seguridad en los Estados Unidos, recurre a la tortura y al chantaje para buscarla en la isla. Así comienza la primera parte de una saga fascinante que abarca tres generaciones de la misma familia. Décadas después, la promesa de riquezas incalculables seduce a la familia Pacelli a regresar a Cuba. Pero al rastrear esas riquezas conlleva tanto peligro como oportunidad, y en última instancia, Francesca debe enfrentar las letales consecuencias de sus decisiones. Desde las conflictivas calles de La Habana a las peligrosas calles de Chicago, La Habana Perdida revela el verdadero costo de perseguir el poder en lugar del amor. La Habana Perdida es la décima novela de la autora galardonada Libby Fischer Hellmann y el tercer thriller que explora cómo la lucha y la revolución afectan el espíritu humano. La Habana Perdida es un testimonio de la habilidad de Hellmann para retratar los auténticos detalles históricos, así como su talento para escribir novelas de suspenso que llevan a la lectura compulsiva.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Lost Opportunity
Multiple installments would have better served this tale and allowed Hellerman to showcase her stellar skills in a truer light (please see my review on Hellerman’s detective police procedural “Toxicity” or better yet, read/listen to the book. I think you will agree that that “Toxicity” is an outstanding demonstration of well-honed craft.).
“La Habana Perdida” / “Havana Lost” has the potential to be an epic tale. In fact, it brings to mind “The Godfather,” sans the strong audience appeal. “La Habana Perdida” / “Havana Lost” is chocked full of fascinating history, intriguing Italian family drama, and interesting cultures that span both locales and eras. Where the Godfather brings to life multiple generations of a family across three primary geographical backdrops— Sicily, New York City, and Long Island, “La Habana Perdida” / “Havana Lost” takes us to Cuba, Angola, and Chicago.
It takes time and sometimes a few installments for this kind of epic yarn to spin with great success because it takes time to provide readers/listeners expansive opportunities to know and understand the characters’ MOs, give adequate chase to the multiple decades and correlating history, and allow the most unpredictable surprises to make sense without coming off as cheap or cheating. In “La Habana Perdida” / “Havana Lost” knowledge of important character traits often show up late. For instance, a key player in the narrative has map-drawing skills and, in fact, really enjoys drawing maps, but readers/listeners do not learn about this until a pivotal point in the story when a supporting character needs the very map that is a driving force in the second half of the tale: The placement did not fit or flow or feel anything but forced as if I can suddenly play the piano (you don't know how far-fetched this is...ha!), a talent know one previously knew I had and I had never mentioned, just because someone wants to hear music. There are other points of concern, like when midstream a boyfriend, who was loved and adored, was suddenly not mentioned for a long, inexplicable spell, and then, just as suddenly, readers/listeners are haphazardly “told” that he had been dumped and that he had moved happily along (how? and when?). More installments could have helped story developments like this unfold with more grace and reader/listener satisfaction.
Too much force-feeding of poorly explained gaps and unlikely events gets weary. The narrative felt rushed and fell flat. It left me with the feeling of being “told” and not “shown.” As a result I remained outside of the story and didn’t care about the characters.
The author gifted me with the Spanish narrated version of the audiobook for an honest review. In order to give the most objective and fair assessment, and to give “translation” its due consideration, I independently purchased the English version in Kindle print/audio formats. I found no major discrepancies with the translation and, in fact, found the Spanish version more enjoyable. :-)
Narrators for both the Spanish and English versions did a terrific job.

Excelente novela histórica y de suspenso.
Una gran historia excelentemente narrada, en un marco histórico impresionante. Narra la historia de varías generaciones de una familia consumida por la tragedia y la ambición, que transcurre en la Cuba pre-revolución y la norteamericana actual, pasando por un periodo en Angola de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90, periodo que tendrá una significativa importancia en el desarrollo del resto de la historia.
