Rețete cubaneze pentru o inimă frântă

Lila Reyes has built her future around her life in Miami. She plans to take her grandmother’s place as head baker at the family bakery. After high school, she hopes to share a home with her best friend. She also sees a lasting future with her boyfriend. Then three blows leave both her plans and her mental health in ruins.

Her worried parents send her to family friends in Winchester, England, for three months. At first, Lila finds little comfort there. She misses Miami’s sun, food, and familiar ways. The grey skies and a grumpy inn cook make things worse.

Then she meets Orion Maxwell, who works in a tea shop. He has troubles of his own but offers to show her around. Through the local music scene and trips into the countryside, Lila grows close to him. She also starts to enjoy England. A new future takes shape, though choosing it could mean giving up her old plans.

Laura Taylor Namey’s young adult romance explores heartbreak, home, family, and cultural ties. It follows a teen as she finds love and rethinks who she wants to be. Ionel Ghiragosian translated this edition from English. It also features printed page edges.
