Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction The debut novel by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Kushner, called "shimmering" (The New Yorker), "multilayered and absorbing" (The New York Times Book Review), and "gorgeously written" (Kirkus Reviews). Young Everly Lederer and K.C. Stites come of age in Oriente Province, where the Americans tend their own fiefdom--three hundred thousand acres of United Fruit Company sugarcane that surround their gated enclave. If the rural tropics are a child's dreamworld, Everly and K.C. nevertheless have keen eyes for the indulgences and betrayals of the grown-ups around them--the mordant drinking and illicit loves, the race hierarchies and violence. In Havana, a thousand kilometers and a world away from the American colony, a cabaret dancer meets a French agitator named Christian de La Mazi re, whose seductive demeanor can't mask his shameful past. Together they become enmeshed in the brewing political underground. When Fidel and Ra l Castro lead a revolt from the mountains above the cane plantation, torching the sugar and kidnapping a boat full of yanqui revelers, K.C. and Everly begin to discover the brutality that keeps the colony humming. Though their parents remain blissfully untouched by the forces of history, the children hear the whispers of what is to come. Kushner's first novel is a tour de force, haunting and compelling, with the urgency of a telex from a forgotten time and place.Binding Type: Paperback

Not the same as hotel pillows.
Size: King
Ordered this pillow after staying at a Westin hotel. I should have returned it because it seemed different from the pillow at the hotel. It feels worn out and doesn’t keep its shape. Would not recommend.

Big high pillow, firmer than expected.
Size: Queen
This pillow could be a 5 for some people , and it was a 1 for us. Too high for our neck. Side sleepers.
It’s probably very good for a back sleeper.

Sleep like in heaven. Every cent worth
Size: Queen
First time a slept on that pillow was on a trip to D. C. and we stayed in a Westin hotel. The best quality of beds, mattress and pillows I ever had!!! On the next morning I told the receptionist how great I slept and they told me, it’s to order. And the funny part is, they called “heavenly”

Gave it 6 month trial before review
Size: Queen
I find it hard to believe these pillows are what is used in the hotels. I like Westin hotel pillows, but they are heavier than this particular pillow. I have used it for 6 months, now it flattens out and just feels like lightweight fluff with no support. It was good for about a month. I try to fluff it up every night to give some lift but I feel this will be thrown away soon. The search goes on.
