Book Descriptions:
The subject of the Spanish Inquisition has always conjured both passion and pain for Didier Nebot, French physician and award-winning author of the forthcoming historical novel The Road to Exile. Nebot's consuming need to summon the ghosts of his ancestors has culminated in this sweeping saga of one fictional family's experiences during the darkest century of European Jewish history before the Holocaust. Like the book's young survivor-hero David Benavista, many of Nebot's own ancestors escaped Catholic Spain under the rule of Queen Isabella in 1492. Thousands of other Jews-some sources quote as many as 300,000 in Spain alone-did not escape and either died under torture or were burned at the stake. Countless others were forced to convert and disappeared into the Spanish Christian world. Nebot's complex treatment of an era scarred by violence and death emerges as both genuine and-perhaps surprisingly-uplifting. For despite being surrounded by political and religious intolerance, the Benavista family learns-and teaches-important lessons of resistance, survival and commitment to Judaism. The rich fabric of The Road to Exile is interwoven with hard fact and gripping fiction, passionate love and equally passionate hatred, and the determination of a people to cling to its religion. Much of the novel's appeal lies in Nebot's ability to deftly intertwine personal and communal history, and to infuse his narrative with emotion that stems from a deeply personal connection to this tragic episode of Jewish history.
