So, don't just take my word for it, read what these experts have said about Castro's Curveball:
"Tim Wendel's love and impressive knowledge of baseball suffuses every page of this passionate novel of love, loss, and the real freedom that wisdom and time sometimes bring.''
--Ken Burns co-author of "Baseball: An Illustrated History
"A Cuba libre mixed with baseball, revolution, and moonlight, wonderfully evocative of a time that was and a pitcher that might have been."
--Frank Deford Author of Everybody's All-American
"In Castro's Curveball, Tim Wendel gives us a sparkling novel about baseball, a country on the brink of revolution, and the man who links them together--Fidel Castro. With remarkable ease and clarity, Wendel draws us into that world and into the lives of the fascinating and diverse characters who populate it. It's a fast-paced, entertaining and suspenseful read. But for me, one of the most important things about this fine books is that it reminds us all of the "what ifs" which might have altered the course of our own lives."
--Carolyn Doty Author of Whisper: A Novel
