Class Visit: Kantika with Elizabeth Graver

Class Visit / open to the public; remote author discussion on Zoom.

Elizabeth Graver (Boston College) will join us on Zoom to discuss her new novel Kantika:

A dazzling Sephardic multi-generational saga that moves from Istanbul to Barcelona, Havana & New York, exploring displacement, endurance & family as home.

Elizabeth Graver’s fifth novel, Kantika, was inspired by her grandmother Rebecca, who was born into a Sephardic Jewish family in Istanbul and whose shape-shifting life journey took her to Spain, Cuba and New York. Kantika was awarded the Edward Lewis Wallant Award, the Julia Ward Howe Award, the Massachusetts Book Award for Fiction, and a National Jewish Book Award.  It was named a Best Historical Fiction Book of 2023 and Notable Book  of the Year by The New York Times, and a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Lilith and Libby, and translated into German and Turkish.
