<p><b>National Jewish Book Award Winner</b><br><b>Massachusetts Book Award Winner</b><br><b><i>The New York Times</i> 100 Notable Books of the Year</b><br><b><br>From award-winning author of <i> The End of the Point </i>comes a dazzling Sephardic multigenerational saga that moves from Istanbul to Barcelona, Havana, and New York, exploring displacement, endurance, and family as home.</b><br><br>A kaleidoscopic portrait of one family's displacement across four countries, <i>Kantika</i>-"song" in Ladino-follows the joys and losses of Rebecca Cohen, feisty daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul. When the Cohens lose their wealth and are forced to move to Barcelona and start anew, Rebecca fashions a life and self from what comes her way-a failed marriage, the need to earn a living, but also passion, pleasure and motherhood. Moving from Spain to Cuba to New York for an arranged second marriage, she faces her greatest challenge-her disabled stepdaughter, Luna, whose feistiness equals her own and whose challenges pit new family against old.<br><br>Exploring identity, place and exile, <i>Kantika</i> also reveals how the female body-in work, art and love-serves as a site of both suffering and joy. A haunting, inspiring meditation on the tenacity of women, this lush, lyrical novel from Elizabeth Graver celebrates the insistence on seizing beauty and grabbing hold of one's one and only life.</p>
