Description
Description
Queen of the Underworld by Gail Godwin is a richly atmospheric literary novel set in Miami during the summer of 1959, as the Cuban Revolution begins reshaping the city.
Fresh out of college, ambitious young reporter Emma Gant starts her career at a newspaper while living in a downtown hotel increasingly filled with Cuban refugees. Determined to become both a successful journalist and fiction writer, Emma moves through a world of political upheaval, romantic complications, gambling interests, and shifting loyalties.
Her fascination with a young former madam—who becomes both an obsession and a kind of alter ego—draws Emma deeper into Miami’s hidden worlds. Against the backdrop of Castro’s rise and the first wave of Cuban exile, Emma struggles to remain the central character in her own life.
