Hotel Cuba : a novel / Aaron Hamburger. by Hamburger, Aaron. Harper Perennial, 2023. Call #: FICTION HAM Subjects Jews, Russian -- Fiction.   Refugees -- Fiction.   Sisters -- Fiction.   Dressmakers -- Fiction.   Jewish families -- Fiction.   Jewish women -- Fiction.   Travelers -- Fiction.   Havana (Cuba) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780063221444 (trade pbk) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  379 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Summary:  "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. At first, life in big-city Prohibition-era Havana is overwhelming, like nothing Pearl and Frieda have ever experienced -- or could have ever imagined in the rural shtetl where they grew up. As the sisters begin to adjust, their plans for going to America together become complicated. Frieda falls for the not-so-dreamy man of her dreams while Pearl's life opens up unexpectedly, offering her a taste of freedom and heady romance, and an opportunity to build a future on her own terms. Though to do so, she must confront her past and the shame she has long carried. A heartbreaking, epic family story, Hotel Cuba explores the profound courage of two women displaced from their home who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known."--Publisher.
