Hidden Cargo is a historical fiction novel that had a story that I was not expecting. When you see a setting that takes place right after the Civil War and has a book title called Hidden Cargo you expect it to take place in the Deep South. I am happy to say that this was not the case. This story actually takes place in Cuba. Verry different than what I was expecting. I love learning about the Civil War and enjoy fiction books durining this time. With a setting completly different then the south I was in for a unexpected ride. This felt like a book that I have never read before. Who knew that changing the setting would do that?!? I am thankful that the author took this route. I picked up a few new tidbits and found myself looking things up in the middle of the story because I was learning something new.
The story flowed easily and I enjoyed the characters.
