You start with a single, possibly scandalous love poem by Jose Marti, Cuba's greatest revolutionary-poet-hero with an infamous secret love life, The Divine Husband is the storyline of Maria de las Nieves Moran, a former nun forced out of her convent with a revolution in a Central American capital. While making her way in this metropolis nicknamed "The Little Paris", she enrolls in a writing class taught by Jose Marti, under whose spell Maria de las Nieves and her classmates quickly fall. Soon after, Maria de las Nieves flees her home for New York, where Marti has also relocated - a crucial interval that shaped Marti's consciousness. Nearly a hundred years later, an elderly woman in Massachusetts hires a school student to research her declare that she is the illegitimate offspring of Marti and Maria de las Nieves. Mixing a lovingly re-created background with often hilarious, ironic, and moving conjecture that brings to life an unforgettable heroine and her exceptional collection of friends, nemeses, and rival suitors, The Divine Husband is a magnificent American novel.
