"Great Gift!" according to A.R.P. Such a great book!. A Customer said Fascinating reading. Enlightening.. This is a readable, interesting account of the events that led to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Although listed in the juvenile literature section, it is a mature and fascinating text.. this book was interesting and very informative I was looking for further reading for my 12 yr old on the time period of the reign of Isabella and Ferdinand in my local library, and this is all I found, so I borrowed it. It was fascinating. I am not Jewish, but it makes the time period more interesting to understand the important role of the Jewish people, and how badly they were treated for hundreds of years due to the lack of separation of church and state in Spain and Portugal at the time. Other countries had more religious tolerance, and it is interesting
