My Cursed Surnames and the Ring of Discord: A wounded lineage that love and courage managed to heal - Couverture souple
Synopsis
There are family stories that are never fully told—only hinted at in gestures, old papers, repeated surnames, and silences that survive from one generation to the next.
In My Cursed Surnames and the Ring of Discord, Cristina Cortés Cobos embarks on a moving journey into her family’s hidden past, beginning with a childhood marked by questions of identity, language, and belonging. Born in Puerto Rico, raised with Uruguayan, Catalan, Spanish, Majorcan, Galician, Basque, Italian, and Puerto Rican echoes, she grows up sensing that her family history does not follow a simple line.
At the center of that search is a mysterious ring—a family heirloom tied to the Cortés lineage. Though the ring never reached her branch of the family, its absence becomes a powerful symbol of memory, inheritance, and unanswered questions. Through conversations with her father, old documents, family stories, and genealogical discoveries, Cristina uncovers the painful history of the Chuetas of Mallorca: descendants of converted Jews persecuted by the Inquisition and the Holy Office, marked by the so-called cursed surnames, and forced to carry the weight of stigma for generations.
This book travels from Palma de Mallorca to Barcelona, from Uruguay to Puerto Rico, following the traces of those who resisted, migrated, concealed their faith, changed names, protected secrets, and survived. It is a story of persecution and exile, but also of courage, love, humor, family loyalty, and healing.
Blending memoir, genealogy, historical reflection, and literary reconstruction, My Cursed Surnames and the Ring of Discord is a tribute to the ancestors whose voices were silenced—and to the power of telling the story before memory disappears.
