Book summary:

Fifteenth-century Spain is a richly multicultural society in which Jews, Muslims and Christians coexist, but under the zealous Christian Queen Isabella, the country abruptly becomes one of the most murderously intolerant places on Earth. The Benvenistes, a family of scribes, are attempting to eke out a living, but they have a secret - they are Conversos: Jews who converted to Christianity. Now, with neighbours and friends turned into spies, fear hangs in the air.
