Our Woman in Havana

From inside this tightly controlled one-party state, Sarah Rainsford, the BBC s woman in Havana for three years, reports on lives shaped by Fidel Castro s giant social experiment and how the nation feels as the six-decade rule of the Castros comes to an end.

Seeking a window into pre-revolutionary Cuba, she searches for the ghosts of Graham Greene s Havana and the paths walked by other visiting writers hooked on a city where every vice was permissible . Through all these stories and those still being told, Our Woman in Havana weaves an enthralling, atmospheric portrait of this enigmatic country as it teeters, once more, at a historic crossroads.
