Een ontroerend liefdesverhaal tussen een jonge Spaanse immigrant en de vrouw van een -Cubaanse maffiabaas Patricio Rubio is een 87-jarige inwoner van Madrid die slechts nog leeft voor zijn herinneringen. Op een ochtend, op weg naar zijn kaartclub, ruikt hij ineens een parfum dat hij al jaren niet meer heeft geroken. De geur brengt hem terug naar het land waar hij zo lang heeft gewoond: Cuba, en in het bijzonder naar warenhuis El Encanto. Patricio denkt terug aan hoe hij in 1947 emigreerde naar Cuba, en zichzelf met zijn vlotte babbel een baantje wist te bezorgen in El Encanto. Langzaam beklom hij de hiërarchische ladder, maar zijn carrière werd altijd overschaduwd door zijn persoonlijke leven – zijn grote liefde, Gloria, behoorde toe aan een andere man. En niet zomaar een man, maar César Valdés, de machtigste maffiabaas van Cuba. Toch blijkt hun liefde uiteindelijk sterker te zijn dan wat dan ook.

In a city as corrupt as it was luxurious, those who dared to dream were bound to pay the price. Havana, Cuba, 1947. Young Patricio flees impoverished Spain and steps into the sultry island paradise of Havana with only the clothes on his back and half-baked dreams of a better life. Blessed with good looks and natural charm, he lands a job as a runner at El Encanto--one of the most luxurious department stores in the world. Famous for its exquisite offerings from French haute couture to Arabian silks, El Encanto indulges the senses in opulent extravagance. It caters to visiting Hollywood stars, rising politicos, and prerevolutionary Cuba's wealthiest power players, including the notorious mobster César Valdés. Falling in love with the mobster's young wife, Gloria, is suicide. But Patricio is irresistibly drawn to the beautiful girl with sad eyes, a razor-sharp intellect, and a penchant for both Christian Dior's clothes and Einstein's theories. Within the walls of El Encanto, anything seems possible, even a love that promises to heal them and a desire that thrums with the mambo beat of the city itself. In a reckless love affair that spans half a century, Patricio's and Gloria's lives entwine time and again, challenged by every twist of fate--for in a world of murder, betrayal, and revolution, those who dare to reach for paradise seldom survive unscathed.

Set against the exotic background of Cuba in 1938, The Wise Women of Havana is the deeply moving, lyrical, and yet earthy story of three remarkable women whose lives are suddenly intricately intertwined. When Marguita, a beautiful and voluptuous young girl, marries Lorenzo, they find their dream home in a cozy apartment in Havana. But that dream is soon shattered. Lorenzo's once-wealthy parents, now in dire need of financial help because of the Great Depression, ask the newlyweds to move into the family's crumbling mansion with them. Marguita is hardly settled with her in-laws when Lorenzo's older sister, the spinster Lolo, behaves in a shocking way toward the young couple, seriously injuring Marguita's sense of honor and causing a dangerous rift between the two. In despair, Marguita, flees to her mother, Dolores, a truly wise woman, whose love, generosity, and resourcefulness provide the glue that promises to mend the break.
