Across So Many Seas

Review by EMW123

"Across So Many Seas" is AMAZING and so cool. It is interesting how the author connects the history. The books goes through generations of a family and at the last section of the book they find that there is more to a family then the memories you have but the memories that you make and learn from that makes you a true family. The author described the story so well that I thought that I was there myself and I could picture it really well and could hear and feel people around me and everyone talking throughout the whole entire story. And at the end when I finished the book I cried because it was so touching and felt so real that I was a mix of emotions for the story but I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend this book for all readers.

Las Llaves de España" ("The Keys of Spain")

Review by SEFARDITA2025

This book is excellent. The way the author brings the 1492 expulsion and Sephardic customs to life is amazing. I felt as if I were walking through the streets of Toledo myself. The details about the "Las Llaves de España" ("The Keys of Spain"—the keys to our homes in Toledo, Alhambra, and many other places) are deeply rooted in the traditions of our families. I actually think this is the best book I have received from PJ Library. I only wish that, from time to time, they would also provide more books about Sephardic heritage in Spanish and perhaps include some Ladino as well. Most of my Sephardic friends and synagogue members do not speak English. May ElDio bless you (Baruch Hashem).!!
