Hijuelos, Oscar

Beautiful María of my soul : or the true story of María García y Cifuentes, the lady behind a famous song : a novel / Oscar Hijuelos - 1st ed. - New York : Hyperion , 2010. - 340 p. ; 25 cm.

She's the great Cuban beauty who stole musician Nestor Castillo's heart and broke it, inspiring him to write the Mambo Kings' biggest hit, "Beautiful Maria of my soul." Now in her sixties and living in Miami with her pediatrician daughter, Teresa, Maria remains a beauty, still capable of turning heads. But she has never forgotten Nestor, and as she thinks back to her days--and nights--in Havana, an entirely new perspective on the Mambo Kings story unfolds.
