Requests:  3 Summary:  "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. 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. Exploring identity, place and exile, Kantika 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." --Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Graver Checked out 05/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Graver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
