The Blind Eye - A Sephardic Journey — Marcia Fine

Emblazoned across distance and time the story builds from the Spanish Inquisition of the late 1400's displacing thousands of Jews from their centuries-old homes in Spain and Portugal. The tortuous migration that ensued sets the scene for dramatic personal stories that eventually connect in present day Florida. The author has carefully researched the historical events and woven a story of courage, pathos, adventure and redemption. The characters seem real, evoking the kind of empathy one would have for a close friend or family member. Such is the skill of the author in developing this story with it's memorable characters.
