"Ten piedad de m???, Se???or, cubano soy". En 1962, Carlos Eire fue uno de los 14.841 ni???os que fueron transportados fuera de Cuba en el puente a?reo conocido como la Operaci???n Pedro Pan--exiliado de su familia, de su patria y de su propia ni???ez por la Revoluci???n. Los recuerdos de su vida en La Habana cobran vida en estas memorias evocativas e inolvidables. Nieve en La Habana es a su vez un exorcismo y una oda a un mundo perdido. La Cuba de la ni???ez de Carlos, con sus lagartijas y su mar azul turquesa ba???ado por un sol esplendoroso, se convierte en una isla maldita con la llegada al poder de un guerrillero llamado Fidel Castro. De pronto la m???sica callejera se transforma en tiroteos, las pascuas navide???as quedan prohibidas, la disidencia conlleva encarcelamiento y casi todos los amigos de Carlos deben irse de Cuba rumbo a un lugar tan lejano e inconcebible como los Estados Unidos. Carlos tambi???n terminar??? en ese mismo exilio, y cumplir??? el deseo de su madre de convertirse en un hombre americano moderno --aun si su alma permanece en el pa???s que lo vio nacer. Narrado con la urgencia de una confesi???n, Nieve en La Habana es un elogio a una patria arruinada y un amoroso testimonio del esp???ritu colectivo de todos los cubanos, dondequiera que est???n.
