really good book !!!!!!!!!!!

I liked this book because it made me think more about keeping secrets and being Jewish.

It was a great book because I learned about the Inquisition which is you either convert or leave and if not you could get killed or questioned. So it tells about Maria's experience and how her a pinion changed.

This was a very interesting story about a Converso family (converted to Catholicism rather than be expelled from Spain in the 1400s) told from the perspective of a young Catholic maidservant who lives with them. Universal themes of loyalty, kindness, and hope are also woven beautifully through this book. I am glad I read it and recommend you read it, too.

This book made me think of if I was living during that time. It's a very good book. I highly recommend this book.
