(3) YA Translated by David Unger. This brief novel recounts the brutal life of Perro Viejo, a seventy-year-old Cuban slave, through his memories. His bondage has left him empty and cold, but when he helps Beira, another slave, shelter a young runaway, he realizes he has loved Beira for years and decides to escape with her. Sophisticated teens will find this Cuban import haunting. Glos.
