Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. a good historical fiction story that covers a topic often joked about (the spanish inquisition) but not often actually learned about. I liked that it focused on family and culture but I didnt like the romantic aspects much since I felt they werent properly fleshed out or necesary. Also, for some reason all the copy I read had all the dialogue in intalics instead of quotations which I found confusing. But thats probably just me being picky. :P I give this book 3.5 stars. It's a quick read about a Jewish girl and her family in the time of the Inquisition. I don't usually read books about religion but this one caught my attention and it ended up being a story about family, friendship and love but also about jealousy, hate and lack of knowledge that always leads to terrible consequences. It's a small story that tells how a young woman escapes from her home in search of a place that will accept her. This book reminded me of the Second World War and all the lives lost. Bottom line: we should never forget who we are and stay true to ourselves no matter what. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This novel brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion but it was this line in the final chapter that moved me the most: Some people say, Save yourself and you save your life. I say, Be yourself and save your soul.
A compelling read. ( )
