Felicia Rosshandler is the product of three strikingly different cultures, the German, the French and the Spanish. She was born in Berlin, raised in Antwerp, and grew up in Havana. She landed in the United States at the age of seventeen where she quickly added Anglo optimism to the salad. She has raised three American sons in New York.

Always startling, her ability to navigate different cultures has opened bright and dark doors. Her novel, “Passing Through Havana” examines the multicultural experience as propelled by love and war.

Felicia Rosshandler Shall we reproduce our pasts as faithfully as we can, or shall we distort them to make a better story. Shall we stick to the lives we had or invent those we need to explain ourselves to ourselves?
