The Forgetting River: A Modern Tale of Survival, Identity, and the Inquisition by Doreen Carvajal
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.4 Mb
Overview: The haunting account of an investigative journalist's efforts to uncover her family's hidden Sephardic Jewish past. Raised a Catholic in California, New York Times journalist Doreen Carvajal is shocked when she discovers that her background may actually be connected to conversos in Inquisition-era Spain, Jews who were forced to renounce their faith and convert to Christianity or face torture and death. With vivid childhood memories of Sunday sermons, catechism, and the rosary, Carvajal travels to the south of Spain, to the centuries-old Andalucian town of Arcos de la Frontera, to investigate her lineage and recover her family’s original religious heritage.
As she strives to find proof that her family had been forced to convert to Christianity six-hundred years ago, Carvajal comes to understand that the past flows like a river through time –and that while the truth might be submerged, it is never truly lost.
Genre: Non-Fiction, Educational
