Elizabeth Graver – Literary Luncheon

December 13, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Join award winning author Elizabeth Graver who will talk about her latest book, Kantika,  at the the JCC’s December Literary Luncheon/Community Read on Wednesday, December 13 at 12:30 PM.

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. 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.
Eliz­a­beth Graver’s fifth nov­el, Kan­ti­ka, was inspired by the migra­tion sto­ry of her Turk­ish Sephar­ic grand­moth­er, whose jour­ney took her from Turkey to Spain, Cuba and New York. Her nov­el The End of the Point was long-list­ed for the 2013 Nation­al Book Award and select­ed as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Her oth­er nov­els are Awake, The Hon­ey Thief, and Unrav­el­ling. Her sto­ry col­lec­tion, Have You Seen Me?, won the 1991 Drue Heinz Lit­er­a­ture Prize.
