Boomers Book Club: Hotel Cuba

April 27 – Hotel Cuba, by Aaron Hamburger

The Boomers will gather remotely to discuss Hotel Cuba by Aaron Hamburger.

From the award-winning author of The View from Stalin’s Head, a stunning novel about two sheltered Russian Jewish sisters, desperate to get to America to make a new life, who find themselves trapped in the sultry, hedonistic world of 1920s Havana.

Fleeing the chaos of World War I and the terror of the Soviet Revolution, practical, sensible Pearl Kahn and her lovestruck, impulsive younger sibling Frieda sail for America to join their sister in New York. But discriminatory new immigration laws bar their entry, and the young women are turned back at Ellis Island. With few options, Pearl and Frieda head for Havana, Cuba, convinced they will find a way to overcome this setback.

Kindly register by April 25.
Sponsored by Boomers, open to all Kol Ami congregants.
