Book Description

"There was a list of the ways to tell who was a hidden Jew: They wear clean clothes on Saturday. We did that, but only to air out our best clothes to wear to Sunday Mass. They light candles on Friday night. We did that, but only to see by candlelight, for soon enough it would be dark. They fast twice a year. We did that, but only to remember my father. They tell stories of Queen Esther. We did that, but only because she was a saint spoken about in church. They do not eat pork. We did that, but simply because we preferred vegetables and fresh green things. They name their children after those in the Old Testament. We did that, but they were only our pet names... The village where Estrella's family has lived for more than 500 years has changed. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella have extended the Inquisition into Spain, and now the Conversos--Jews who converted to Christianity to avoid persecution--are reviled even more than the Jews themselves. First books are burned...later, the bonfires are built to burn people. Who could possibly guess the secret Estrella's family has hidden for so long? And who would possibly betray them?"
