"With heart-rending efficiency, Acevedo has gifted readers with a sweeping, historical tale that is tender and resonant, reconciliatory and liberating."

        --Addie Citchens, author of Dominion

​

"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."

     --Junot Diaz, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

​

"Excruciatingly tender...CAGES dissects the unbearable ache of those loves that cannot be--whether unrequited or forbidden--and the lengths one goes to protect their hidden desires, their selfishness, their need to be chosen, their unspeakable betrayals."

     --Emanuela Anechoum, author of Tangerinn
