Can the age difference be an obstacle to love? What happens when it is the woman who is twenty years older than her boyfriend? This novel is about a Cuban cougar: a love story between a teacher and her student. The life of Yoana, a literature professor at the University of Havana, does not have many attractions. She lives between home and classes until one of her students (a long-haired rocker and motorcyclist) begins to make her fall in love. But between the two is Yoana's husband, to whom she has been married for ten years, and her position as a professor, which is in danger with the affair. Passion dives naked into the Almendares River and shudders at a homemade heavy metal concert, while everything around her conspires to destroy her. La Regenta in Havana is a painting that, while depicting the university environment of Havana, gives a knowing and humorous wink to Maestro Clarín.
