Rebecca Cohen

Rebecca Cohen was a feisty daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul. She was forced to move to Barcelona and start anew after her family lost their wealth. Cohen fashions a life and self from what comes her way, facing challenges such as a failed marriage and the need to earn a living. She also experiences passion, pleasure, and motherhood. Cohen's story is a kaleidoscopic portrait of one family's displacement across four countries.
