Are We Ever Our Own? is a collection of interconnected stories that explore the lives of the women in the Armando Castell family, who are scattered across Cuba and the United States. Despite their relative isolation, these women are all searching for a sense of self and belonging, whether they are exiles, immigrants, artists, outsiders, or any combination of these identities.
The owner of a professional mourning service, Maria, sets out to investigate the disappearance of her employees. As she delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies that connect her to the missing women. Meanwhile, on the eve of the Cuban revolution, a young woman named Ana breaks into the mansion where she once served as a servant to help the rebels and free herself from the oppressive regime.
A musician in a traveling troupe, Julia, recounts the last day she saw her father, who had been imprisoned by the Cuban government. The story explores the emotional toll of separation and the power of music to transcend boundaries.
Through these diverse narratives, Are We Ever Our Own? examines the violence inflicted on womens bodies and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of loss. The stories explore themes of identity, belonging, and the search for meaning in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain. They ask profound questions about who we are and what we truly own, and challenge us to consider the complexities of our relationships with others and ourselves.
Overall, Are We Ever Our Own? is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of stories that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of women living in exile and migration.
