Reading aloud with my daughter is one of those small wonders that, when they happen, leave a trail of happiness. We don’t always have the time, but when we do, we take turns reading pages, sometimes entire chapters, and let the story wrap around us. This time, the book accompanying us has been a special gem: An Emperor in the Caribbean, by the Camagüey-based writer Evelin Queipo.
