Call Me Cassandra

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(233 236 239 0.62); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Ten-year-old Rauli lives in a world that is often hostile. His older brother is violent; his philandering father doesn't understand him; his intelligence and sensitivity do not endear him to the other children at school. He loves to read especially Greek myths but in Cuba in the 1970s novels and gods can be dangerous. Despite the signs that warn Rauli to repress and fear what he is he knows three things to be true: First that he was born in the wrong body. Second that he will die aged eighteen as a soldier in the Cuban intervention in Angola. And third that he is the reincarnation of the Trojan princess Cassandra.</span></p>
