A riveting mix of history & intrigue. Protagonist Alienor's quest is deeply personal as she uncovers her family‘s past, filled with heartbreak & resilience. Her Jewish/Arabic lineage weaves a rich tapestry of history, culture, & tragedy that informs her investigation into Spain's “stolen babies“—a dark chapter where infants were taken from mothers deemed unfit by Franco‘s regime.
