Another proposal will be Los amores eternos duran solo el verano (Eternal loves last only summer), by the publishing house Letras Cubanas, a Prose book that refers to stories about loss, pain, loneliness and the need for affection.
Rodríguez explained that this is a book of stories for adults who have in common the brief love that invites us to reflect on everyday problems.
