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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 30 Cohen family|vFiction. 650 0 Self-realization in women|vFiction. 650 0 Sephardim|vFiction. 650 0 Judaism|xSephardic rite|xCustoms and practices|vFiction. 650 0 Arranged marriage|vFiction. 651 0 Istanbul (Turkey)|vFiction. 651 0 Barcelona (Spain)|vFiction. 651 0 Havana (Cuba)|vFiction. 651 0 New York (State)|vFiction. 700 1 Shalan, Gail,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15614911?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dsa_9781666630671_180.jpeg
