(3) YA In 1492, the year of the Spanish Inquisition, Isabel turns thirteen and learns she is in fact Ruth, a Jew whose family has never truly renounced the faith of their fathers. After a series of harrowing incidents that leaves her bereft of her parents, Ruth and her brother find safe passage to a new life in Istanbul. The novel, informative and interesting throughout, moves steadily forward and features fine characterizations.
