America, the ?last world?, holds out many promises to the Santinio family from Cuba. For Alejo, the father, it means escape from the dreary farm of San Pedro and, perhaps, a business of his own. For Mercedes, his wife, America is the last of the material worlds. Still she has had other lives and will lives again, after her death. For the sons, Horacio and Hector, the ?last world? is not only New York, but also Cuba - a place of sensuous beauty, fragrance and ancestral memory. Filled with ghosts and the delicate presence of flowers, the sensuality of Cuban rhythms and the reality of Manhattan, Our House in the Last World is a work of beauty about people stranded between two cultures whose search for a better life remains unfulfilled.

Of Cuban descent, Osar Hijuelos was born in New York, where he still lives. His other novels include Mr.Ives' Christmas, Empress of the Splendid Season and The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love
