The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love by Oscar Hijuelos

3.0

I did like this award-winning book, but I didn't love it. It's about two brothers who immigrate from Cuba to the U.S. to become music stars. It's not heavy on plot or suspense, and the brother whose life is covered in more detail is actually kind of a pig to women, but the author does some kind of word magic that makes you want to keep reading anyway.
