Gouiomar's life and love are upended when she learns her family are secret Jews living in the shadow of the Grand Inquisitor's dungeons.  The Silver Candlesticks by Linda Chavez is the story of a young woman who learns her family is Jewish just as the Spanish Inquisition grips Sevilla. A new Inquisitor, Padre Ignacio Dominguez, has come to town to ferret out the secret Jews who remain in Spain one hundred years after the Edict of Expulsion forced most to leave or convert.  To read more about the book and to purchase, visit bookshop.org, which directly supports independent local bookstores across the country.
