Synopsis
The Converted, in Spanish Los Conversos, were the 15th Century Spanish Jews forced to flee Spain and hide their religious identity to escape persecution--and death. This novel looks at their history through an historical wormhole created during the Spanish Civil War, and explored by Philip Rose, an American architect.
Through well-etched characters of vastly different backgrounds, The Converted weaves themes of the Kabbalah, gold lust, the Spanish civil war and the Nazi era into a single compelling narrative encompassing medieval Spain and its great Sephardic minds, the tragedies of 15 Century El Alhambra Edict and the Holocaust, and modern Europe and California.
