I loved Waiting for Snow in Havana so I was excited to find Learning to Die.... Eire's memoir of his life as an American doesn't disappoint. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. From his time as an 11 year old airlifted from Cuba to shocking foster homes in Miami, to his trip as an adult to countries of the former Eastern Bloc, Eire plumbs the refugee experience with grace.
