Qesher Book Club: Across So Many Seas
Hosted By: Qesher
The Qesher Book Club presents Ruth Behar’s Pura Belpré Award-winning novel “Across So Many Seas,” an epic narrative spanning over 500 years that tells the stories of four girls from different generations of a Jewish family. The novel traces their journeys, beginning with Benvenida during the Spanish Inquisition in 1492, through Reina’s relocation to Cuba in 1923, Alegra’s escape to Miami in 1961 amid Fidel Castro’s regime, and culminating with Paloma’s heritage discovery in Spain in 2003. Each character’s story highlights the courage and resilience passed down through generations despite the vast distances and time separating them.
