Our Man In Havana by Graham Greene

Graham Greene’s clever, hilarious novel is perfect poolside reading whether you’re idling with a mojito at the much mentioned Nacional or at the Habana Libre (then the Habana Hilton) or indeed a fantastic read wherever you are.

The anti-hero protagonist James Wormold a vacuum salesman becomes reluctantly embroiled in espionage and reveals fantastical and visionary (the book predates the 1962 Cuban missile crisis) ideas.

This atmospheric book from a master of pace, plot, characterisation and satire transports one to the streets of Habana Veija
