But discriminatory new immigration laws bar their entry, and the young women are turned back at Ellis Island. With few options, Pearl and Frieda head for Havana, Cuba, convinced they will find a way to overcome this setback. At first, life in big-city Prohibition-era Havana is overwhelming, like nothing Pearl and Frieda have ever experienced--or could have ever imagined in the rural shtetl where they grew up. As the sisters begin to adjust, their plans for going to America together become complicated. Frieda falls for the not-so-dreamy man of her dreams while Pearl's life opens up unexpectedly, offering her a taste of freedom and heady romance, and an opportunity to build a future on her own terms. Though to do so, she must confront her past and the shame she has long carried. A heartbreaking, epic family story, Hotel Cuba explores the profound courage of two women displaced from their home who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known. 650 0 $a Jews, Russian $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Travelers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Havana (Cuba) $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Jewish fiction. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240412010648.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230814175519.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011124.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230721010133.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113837.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230607010145.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230524010359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53061F28F9F811EDB1C0740753ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
