Join your sisters for a fascinating discussion of Kantika: A Novel by Elizabeth Graver!
Kantika (Ladino for "song") is a lush, multigenerational Sephardic saga inspired by the author’s grandmother. It follows the extraordinary journey of Rebecca Cohen as her family faces displacement from their affluent life in early 20th-century Istanbul.
Rebecca's story of resilience, reinvention, and fierce motherhood spans four countries—Istanbul, Barcelona, Havana, and New York—exploring themes of:
- Displacement and Exile
- The Tenacity and Strength of Women
- Cultural and Familial Identity (particularly the Sephardic experience)
We'll be diving into this beautiful and moving epic about finding home and holding onto heritage.
