Excerpt from Lights Out

My mother, early 1960s. In the back you can see the first  house my grandfather  built.  I describe the house's architecture in the book.  To her right is Aurora's house. 
In the turbulent early thirties, my mother's parents decided to move to the city.  They had saved money and purchased land on Calle Fomento.  My grandfather built a house on Fomento and moved his family into it.


Here is my sister Mariblanca.  The picture was taken the same day.  You can see the front of the house much better. 
Remember, gentle reader, thanks to Fidel, the house does not even resemble its former beauty.   If you google Calle Fomento, Holguín, you may find a current picture of the house.
