Havana. 1993. Cuba is in the midst of the “Special Period,” a large-scale economic crisis that followed the collapse of the USSR. Empty shelves in stores, power outages, and unemployment have become commonplace. Julia, a math teacher, believes that finding a document proving that the telephone was not invented by Alexander Graham Bell, but by Antonio Meucci in Havana, will change her life. Together with a group of like-minded people driven by a quixotic goal, Julia must sort out a tangled family history during a period of national despair in Cuba. “Havana, Year Zero” is a passionate and ironic novel, generously flavored with Cuban color, in which the story of the destinies of people trying to survive in an era of change is skillfully woven into a gripping detective investigation.
