Letters from Cuba by Ruth Behar

3.0

YA book loosely based on Ruth Behar’s family travails. I felt a deep correlation with my own family history and the issues of bigotry, racism, antisemitism and migration that still abound to this day. Cuba, a small island country of such countless beauty and cultural diversity - is depicted as a refuge from the horrors of pre-WW II Europe. I was reminded of Gabor Mate’s theory of generational trauma. Fast read.
