Description:... A Cuban woman living in Miami creates a colorful cast of characters deposited from Cuba onto her imagined island of Cundeamor, united by a collective search for home and belonging. Aunt Ulalume narrates the inhabitant's stories that are in turns dark and sarcastic or lively and witty, and focus on such island staples as the desultory crab sculptures of Nicotiano, Betty Boop's mission to find a new life partner, and the band of militant guards surrounding Ula's Finnish husband.
