Industry Reviews
"As she did in the THE FORTELLING, Hoffman offers another fascinating glimpse of a past civilization--with reverberations for both past and present--in this moving novel set during the Spanish Inquisition."
(10/16/2006)
"Hoffman has delivered a complex and beautifully written record of a tragic historical chapter, commissioning readers never to forget what befell the victims of the time."
"Hoffman's lyrical prose and astute characterization blend to create a riveting, horrific tale that unites despair with elements of hope."
