This book is enchanting.It is a lovely piece of literature.Though the violence does get quite
gruesome toward the end,I strongly reccomend it to kids about 12 and up.This book almost actually made me cry.(that's hard to do) It gives you a taste of history(not like in a history book,but the bitter truth)Alice Hoffman is a brilliant writer.I think common sense should put up more of her books.
this book is educational and inspiring. i cried and i laughed. this story tells you what people are really like when jelousy and anger comes in play so read this book because its amaizing!
READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutley loved this book because while I was reading it, I learned a lot about the Jewish conversion in spain. It was also suspensful and romantic. READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this book was awsome! i read it in about 2 hours and i loved it! the parts about when the people that are getting burned are a bit iffy, also that her freind betrays her...this book is deffinitly NOT for kids younger then 12-13!!!! but if you are that age and you want to read this book it is pretty darn good!
A perfect combination of tragedy, romance, betrayal, mystery and history. Though the details in brutality are a bit harsh, it shows us more of what humanity had once been like and how, if we let it, could return to. It describes almost perfectly the beauty of love as well as the ugliness of jealousy and intolerance. And yet, through all her hardships, our heroine still manages to stay positive.
This book was first reccomended to me by a woman in a book store. She said that someone had recomended it to her. Yes there is alot of volience in it, but it is telling the reader the history of that time. I usually read a book a week and this book only took me two days! the author tells the story soo well and I'll read this book over and over!
