Carlos Frías, premiado periodista e hijo de cubanos exiliados, nacido en Estados Unidos, se crió oyendo sobre la tierra natal de sus padres sólo en parábolas. La Cuba de sus padres, la que dejaron atrás hacía cuatro décadas, era etérea. Para él existía solo en sus anécdotas y en la familia que permanecía en Cuba —meros fantasmas del otro lado de la línea de teléfono—.Hasta que enfermó Castro.Enviado a Cuba por su periódico cuando el país se empezaba a cerrar a la prensa extranjera en agosto de 2006, Frías se embarcó en la travesía secreta de su vida —doce días en la tierra de sus padres—. Esa experiencia llevó a esta evocativa, espectacular e inolvidable memoria.Llévame contigo está escrita a través de la mirada única de un cubano-americano de primera generación, contemplando aquel país prohibido de sus ancestros por primera vez. Llévame contigo brinda una mirada fresca de Cuba, despojada de un abierto comentario político, enfocándose en vez en las duras y tangibles vidas de las personas que viven en la Cuba de Castro. Frías toma a la nación isleña de hoy, e intenta reconstruir cómo fue el pasado para sus padres, volviendo sobre sus pasos, buscando sus raíces y descubriendo su historia. El libro genera reacciones duraderas e inesperadas en su familia a ambos lados del Estrecho de Florida —y en el mismo autor—.

An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.
