From Monday to Saturday, Mary is a young and talented artist in the artistic, bohemian and fringe circles of Havana. But on Sundays, Mary becomes the sex toy of a high official of the regime. Her condition as a woman and artist, bisexual and alienated from Castroism, inevitably pushes her towards social exclusion, and Mary begins to need a reason to remain in Cuba.Featuring a host of unforgettable and irreverent members of the underground Havana, this novel raises important questions which a new whole generation is finding increasingly difficult to ignore.
