Hadassah Sharon Chapter
January On The Same Page Book Club
Thursday, January 16 · 1 pm
at a private home in New York, NY 10023 (Address provided upon registration)
Let's get together in person, in the Lincoln Center area, for eating and socializing starting at 1 pm. The discussion of Kantika by Elizabeth Graver will start at 2 pm.
Kantika, “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. This lush, lyrical novel., exploring identity, place and exile, recovers a vanishing history, animates a rich range of characters and reveals how the female body - in work, family and love serves as a site of both suffering and joy. It is a fascinating meditation on the tenacity of women. Kantika was a National Jewish Book Award winner when it was published in 2023.
