This makes me think of Hugo Chavez but it would have been his grandmother in the crowd

The author‘s father kept his life in Czechoslovakia secret from her, identifying himself as Venezuelan. When she learned from a complete stranger in college that her name was Jewish, she was shocked. With very few hints from her father, and a box he left her when he died bearing little information, she went on a search for how he came to be in #Venezuela. This book is about her genealogical search, and her father‘s and his family‘s story during ⬇️
I just read this book last month for #SouthKorea for #foodandlit, a harsh look at Korea before and after World War II and the relationship of the two Koreas from the eyes of courtesans. The ebook is currently on sale
I picked a picture book for this month‘s #foodandlit for Venezuela. While it was a nice story, I felt like the history in it wasn‘t really explained but just implied, assuming the reader just knows. And especially for children‘s books, I don‘t like that.
I‘m struggling to keep up with all the family names in the audiobook so I have checked out the ebook from Libby. Now I have a family tree I think I have to start over. In the meantime, a map!

Cachitos and tequenos from the Venezuelan restaurant for dinner tonight. Mixed reviews but they were from frozen. #Venezuela #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
This was my choice for #FoodAndLit #Venezuela
The MC Adelaide is trying to survive during a period of unrest, and following her mothers death. While it was interesting to read of her struggles, it was difficult to keep track of what was happening at times, and the background wasn‘t fully fleshed out. I also found it very hard to like the character.
Overall it was good enough to keep reading, but only just. In the end it wasn‘t my cup of tea ☕️🫖
