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. 600 30 $a Cohen family $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sephardim $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Judaism $x Customs and practices $x Customs and practices $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Istanbul (Turkey) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Barcelona (Spain) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Havana (Cuba) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (State) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Religious fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 10 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240402013521.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012917.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240118010754.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012241.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011544.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011237.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20230516011126.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230505010433.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230503013530.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230502011959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E23462DAE8B011ED84E9FF1C55ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
