Our Woman in Havana: Reporting from Castro’s Cuba
by Sarah Rainsford
(Oneworld Publications, £18.99)
KNOWN as “Our woman in Havana,” Sarah Rainsford was the BBC’s correspondent in Cuba from 2011-14 and the title of her book feels like a throwback to a time when Britain was a world power that needed to send out foreign correspondents like missionaries — an irony probably not lost on Raul Castro as he did not grant her an interview during her tenure.
