Her literary creations cover the feminine world, the everyday, the maternity and the Cuban, nuanced with the ingenious use of humor.
Through twelve stories where humor and absurdity predominate, the author explores with pleasant and fluid language various edges of Cuban every day, especially Havana of recent years. It highlights female characters, carefully conceived, from a psychological point of view, from whose voices are addressed topics such as maternity, family relationships, complex network in which children grow and develop in difficult conditions. Once again Laidi Fernández de Juan makes visible the mastery of her narrative skill, as well as the deployment of her humorist conditions.
