X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>A kaleidoscopic portrait of one family&rsq
 uo\;s displacement across four countries\, Kantika&mdash\;&ldquo\;song&rdq
 uo\; in Ladino&mdash\;follows the joys and losses of Rebecca Cohen\, feist
 y daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul. When the
  Cohens lose their wealth and are forced to move to Barcelona and start an
 ew\, Rebecca fashions a life and self from what comes her way&mdash\;a fai
 led marriage\, the need to earn a living\, but also passion\, pleasure\, a
 nd motherhood. Moving from Spain to Cuba to New York for an arranged secon
 d marriage\, she faces her greatest challenge&mdash\;her disabled stepdaug
 hter\, Luna\, whose feistiness equals her own and whose challenges pit new
  family against old.</p>\n<p>Exploring identity\, place\, and exile\, Kant
 ika also reveals how the female body&mdash\;in work\, art\, and love&mdash
 \;serves as a site of both suffering and joy. A haunting\, inspiring medit
 ation on the tenacity of women\, this lush\, lyrical novel from Elizabeth 
 Graver celebrates the insistence on seizing beauty and grabbing hold of on
 e&rsquo\;s one and only life.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>This program will b
