4 Stars • Letters from Cuba by Ruth Behar tracks Esther, a 12-year-old Jewish girl fleeing 1930s Poland to join her father in Cuba amid growing antisemitism. Penned as letters to her sister, the story details Esther‘s adjustment to life in rural Agramonte, overcoming obstacles through her sewing skills and bonds with diverse neighbors. The novel highlights themes of immigration, perseverance, and cross-cultural friendships.

The secret (and very illegal in my town) little free library around the corner had a book to my taste for the first time! I leave books there from time to time, but it's my first take!

CarolynM Ok, I have to ask. Why is the little free library illegal in your town? 2mo

tournevis @CarolynM For no good reason. Officially, it drives undesired traffic to residential areas. The city comes and pulls them down really fast. There are only two that are allowed, one near a museum downtown, so already traffic, and one in the poorest area of town. I was told, to my face, that's it's because they can't afford books. *sigh* (edited) 2mo
