Summary: Aridjis, a popular Mexican poet, and his translator wife provide English-speaking audiences an English version of his 1985 novel of a picaresque love story between two conversos (converts to Christianity) set in the waning years of 15th-century Spain. Although Christopher Columbus appears briefly as a deus ex machina who saves the hero from the clutches of the Inquisition, the book really focuses on another major event of 1492--the expulsion of the Jews.
