A Long Night in Cuba: A Historical Fiction Political Thriller
When the lights go out, secrets come alive.
In the coastal town of Baracoa, Cuba, a sudden nationwide blackout plunges the island into chaos. For Maria, a young woman who only wants to stay out of politics, the outage is just another inconvenience-until whispers of government cover-ups, hidden shortages, and unrest begin to swirl through the streets.
Her best friend Santi, son of a loyal communist school principal, believes in the revolution, but his secret longing for freedom pulls him into dangerous territory. Meanwhile, Roberto, his father, clings to old ideals, even as his wife Magdalena begins to question everything she's been taught to believe. And in the shadows, Mauritzio, a local dissident, dares to say what others fear: this blackout isn't just another failure. It's the beginning of something much larger.
Through the eyes of both loyalists and critics of the Cuban regime, A Long Night in Cuba captures the tensions of a society where truth is fragile, survival is political, and every choice carries consequences.
As families ration food, neighbors gather around dying radios, and rumors spread like wildfire, Maria and Santi are forced to confront not only their futures but the truth about the country they've inherited.
