Convince to read book: I would say that along with loving the story and the characters, I also learned a little about Cuba and the revolution at the same time.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of the book was how people were willing to turn on their friends and families because of the revolution. It really tore people apart.
Cover: The cover was pretty, but I wasn't the one who noticed it. My sister is the one that picked it up. It had a picture of a red umbrella on the front but otherwise it didn't reflect the contents at all really.
