Ruth Adler will  be leading a book talk on the book "Kantika" by Elizabeth Graver.  

"The New York Times recommends "Kantika" and says "...this exquisitely imagined family saga spans cultures and continents as it traces the migrations of a Sephardic Jewish girl from turn-of-the-20th-century upper-crust Constantinople to more straitened circumstances in Barcelona, Havana and, finally, Queens, N.Y."
