Cartas de Cuba

"La inspiradora historia de una joven jud??a que escapa de Polonia para rehacer su vida en Cuba, mientras trabaja para rescatar al resto de su familia. La situaci??n se est?? poniendo terrible para los jud??os en Polonia en v??speras de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El padre de Esther ha huido a Cuba y ella es la primera en seguir sus pasos y reencontrarse con ??l en la isla. Vivir separada de su querida hermana es desgarrador, por lo que Esther promete escribirle cartas cont??ndole todo lo que le suceda hasta el d??a en que se vuelvan a reunir. Y lo hace, manteniendo un registro tanto de lo bueno - la bondad del pueblo cubano y su descubrimiento de un valioso talento oculto - como de lo malo: el hecho de que las garras del nazismo se han arraigado incluso en Cuba. Las evocadoras cartas de Esther est??n llenas de su aprecio por la vida y revelan a una ni??a ingeniosa y decidida, con una habilidad ??nica para unir a las personas, mientras se esfuerza por sacar al resto de su familia de Polonia antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Basada en la historia familiar de Ruth Behar, esta impresionante historia celebra la resiliencia del esp??ritu humano en los tiempos m??s desafiantes"--Amazon.com.
