Dos son particularmente interesantes:
“[A] remarkably learned and heartbreaking romantic novel… It is astounding how much Kaplan fits in this accomplished debut novel – describing assassinations, torture, theological discourse, ancient culture and politics, sex and love with a deft blend of straightforwardness and subtlety. Despite the unceasing brutality of their time, Kaplan’s characters are shaded rather than all good or all evil. And despite its medieval setting, the story has contemporary echoes. Best of all, it’s hard to put down. Beautifully executed, highly recommended.” – Pamela Miller, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Must take its place as one of the most important contemporary historical novels with a Jewish theme. One could also argue that its portrayal of religious and ethnic hatred in the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabella (or, as Kaplan calls them, Fernando and Ysabel ) is a better way to understand the Jewish world today than the work of many of the hip, hyped young Jewish novelists clawing to the top of literary New York.” – Matt Beynon Rees
¡TE ESPERAMOS!
