Explanation:

In Cristina Garcia's novel "Dreaming in Cuban", the story revolves round the theme of family heritage, the indecisiveness of politics and the issue of mental illness that overcomes the narrator's family life in Cuba. Set in both Cuba and America, the story follows the life of the characters' lives in both countries.

In this novel, the writer Cristina Garcia delves into the very essence of what it means to preserve and maintain one's heritage. Through this novel, she seems to view one's cultural identity as something that can be grasped by people no matter how hard it may seem. Also, she supports that one can have multiple cultural identities, and there is no fixed law or rule that allows a person to have just a single cultural identity.
