The Attraction of Cuba

By Chris Hilton

Chris Hilton went to Havana to escape the drudgery of everyday life in England--and, boy, did he escape it. Suddenly he found himself mixed up with a variety of gangland chancers, some Cuban, one British, all living on the edge of legality. There was always a risk of their money-making schemes getting rumbled by the police but that's what made it so compelling: the chance, the risk. Office life this wasn't. And then there was Jamilia--a refugee from rural poverty, who'd come to the big city as a teenager, and been rescued from the streets by an unnerving family of small-time criminals. "A little crazy is good," Jamilia tells Chris--and a little crazy they become, living hard, loving hard and putting back a deal of Cuban rum. But how long can craziness last? And what happens when good fortune turns to bad?
