Praise for Cages

“With Cages Acevedo has written the impossible: an Odyssey for the Cuban 20th century... Love, revolution, exile, betrayal, heartbreak, sirens—it’s all here, raised to indelible heights by Acevedo’s incomparable gifts. Felix, the fractured heart of this kaleidoscopic masterpiece, is both shattered and shattering.”—Junot Diaz    

Praise for The Distant Marvels

“A modern riff on Scheherazade that celebrates the art of the story.”—BookRiot

“Acevedo brilliantly conveys the dual nature of the stories we tell ourselves, which achieve grace and transformation through tempestuous churning. The Distant Marvels, like love itself, is both storm and shelter at once.”—Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts 

“Lush and captivating... The women in these pages survive to tell their tales, and oh, what wondrous stories they are.”—Marie Manilla, author of The Patron Saint of Ugly

“Exquisitely rendered. A Thousand and One Nights-style surrender to the true art of storytelling.”—Ana Castillo, American Book Award-winning author of The Mixquiahuala Letters 

“Acevedo’s prose has an endearingly relaxed feel—like she’s sitting across from you and telling the tale.”—OZY

★ “A major, uniquely powerful, and startlingly beautiful novel that should bring Acevedo’s name to the top echelon of this generation’s writers.”—Booklist (Starred Review)

★ “Irresistible moments of rebellion and bravery define this tale. Perfect timing for a Scheherazade-style account of Cuban history.”—Kirkus (Starred Review)

“Here is a generous slice of Cuba’s national epic, delivered by a mesmerizing tale-spinner.”—Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls’ Rising

“Acevedo is one of the most versatile and exciting writers of her generation, with a voice that speaks not only to the American experience, but to our universal humanity. I fall for her characters, whole-heartedly, while being covetous of her stunning prose.”—Julianna Baggot, author of the Pure trilogy

“A compelling, gorgeously-written epic about Cuban women as fierce as the storms and the hardships they endure. Every scene, every detail, every utterance and intimacy feels richly, enchantingly true.”—Cristina Garcia, author of Dreaming in Cuban
