Kantika by Elizabeth Graver
The Next Chapter Book Club meets in person once a month to discuss the chosen novel. Come kick off Next Chapter Book Club autumn sessions with Elizabeth Graver’s 2023 novel, Kantika! The plot follows Rebecca Cohen, a strong-willed daughter of the Sephardic elite from early twentieth-century Istanbul, through her highs and lows as she navigates the loss of her family’s wealth, relocation to several different countries, a failed marriage, and other challenges life throws at her. Identities, exile, and women’s tenacity are explored in Kantika, a novel that celebrates the determination to seize beauty and holding onto one’s single, precious life.
Join us for The Festival’s Elizabeth Graver & Kantika panel on November 15th at 3pm!
