THE BOOK FAIR

An introduction to Anusim, or crypto-Jews, Jews who though forced to convert to Catholicism during the Inquisition in Spain, kept their Judaism with secreted practices of traditions.

A young Hispanic, Catholic man and a young, Jewish woman studying jointly on a college course travel to Spain to search out their respective family heritage.

Light reading, descriptive of places in Spain, void of foul language, some religious conversation, love of family, and sweet romance makes the novel  perfect for early aged teens to high school.
