The Converted. The Rose Series, #3

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.
