(2) YA Translated by Elizabeth D. Crawford. This is a gritty, intense story of a highly charged relationship between Christopher Columbus and sixteen-year-old Esther, a Jewish refugee from the Inquisition who comes aboard the Santa María disguised as a Christian ship's boy named Pedro. Esther's helpless passion for the older man is convincingly nuanced; the fully realized setting, flavorful dialogue, and multiple intrigues are well executed.
