Jennifer Cavilleri was the quintessential high school senior who knew it all and didn’t hesitate to show it.

And it doesn’t matter if you were a guy or a girl. It was one of the first grown-up books I read a gift from my mother. Segal is credited with giving every reader in the world, a love story even if it was just in the pages of a book that still stands the test of time when it comes to classic romances. He was and to this day, remains the original creator of the quintessential love story. ![]() ![]() Before Nicholas Sparks and John Greene, there was Erich Segal. ![]()

This trip had a possible secondary focus, keeping his eyes and ears open to Fidel Castro’s year-old insurrection against Fulgencia Batista’s military regime on behalf of his wartime employer, MI6. He made multiple visits, including a key one in November 1957, when he began writing Our Man in Havana.

These trips provided the background to what critics have termed Greeneland: ‘The seedy, politically unstable, and dangerous world said to be the typical setting in the novels of Graham Greene.’ In the 1950s, he sought distraction from his manic depression through multiple foreign trips to turbulent spots around the world.
