Twelve Stories. Everyday lives at the place where the world’s version of a person and the real one do not match. Class, loneliness, dignity, and the need to belong.
Behind the Iron Curtain, a woman learns hunger has a taste and fear has a shape. Decades later in Cuba, the same ideology wears no gentler mask. A haunting novel of two communist regimes a thousand miles apart.
Edición en español. Detrás del Telón de Acero, una mujer aprende que el hambre tiene un sabor y el miedo una forma. Una novela extraída de las sombras de dos regímenes comunistas.
Lilian George was born in Eastern Europe and later lived in Cuba before settling in the United States. She holds a technical degree, but writing has always been her true dream. She is the author of the historical novel The Cuban Manuscript, which she also translated into Spanish for readers who do not speak English, and of The Diversity Bridesmaid, a book of twelve short stories.
Her writing explores the fragility of freedom, along with themes of class, dignity, resilience, and the quiet struggles of ordinary lives. She is currently working on a novel. When she is not writing, she enjoys reading and long walks with her dog.
