Abstract
Edict of Expulsion: 31st of March 1492. Accused of ritual murder in Granada, and not under jurisdiction of the Inquisition, the church orders expulsion of all Jews and Marranos from Spain within four months. Acclaimed author Marcia Fine weaves a tale of survival in 15th-century Portugal and contemporary Miami set against historical events. A quick-witted Cubana connects the narrative across time to reveal passion, persistence and a path toward discovery of Sephardic roots.
