Hotel Cuba, a novel by Aaron Hamburger
Russian Jewish sisters Pearl and Frieda flee war and revolution, hoping to start a new life in America—only to be turned away at Ellis Island. Stranded in 1920s Havana, they must adapt to a seductive, unfamiliar world filled with danger, opportunity, and moral compromise. As Frieda chases love and Pearl discovers unexpected freedom, both women face hard choices that will shape their futures. A moving story of displacement, sisterhood, and resilience, this novel explores what it takes to find a home when the world keeps shifting beneath your feet.
