Alice Hoffman's words are like poetry in this book. Hoffman books have always been a favorite. She has a gift for blending magic, history, love of nature, and a style of fiction that belongs only to her.

Alice Hoffman is one of my favorite writers, and this book is suitable for both adults and teens. Sad but beautifully written, and strangely hopeful. Persecution of Jews in Spain in the 1500s.

Interesting fictional read about a part in history that was devastating again to the Jewish people. This book deals with young love,the love of a secret Jewish family for each other and their true faith.
