Wednesday, April 10 at noon in the lounge
Our next book is Kantika by Elizabeth Graver, a dazzling Sephardic multigenerational saga that moves from Istanbul to Barcelona, Havana, and New York, exploring displacement, endurance, and family as home. A kaleidoscopic portrait of one family’s displacement across four countries, Kantika―“song” in Ladino―follows the joys and losses of Rebecca Cohen, feisty daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul.

The June meeting will be on Wednesday June 5, and the book choice is
My Father's Paradise by Ariel Sabar.
