商品簡介
"...a moving generational biography and wonderful historical romantic thriller. There are narrow escapes, chilling and tragic losses. The sweeping story and gorgeous locations would make a powerful mini-series." Mark W. Hammond, Emmy winner
Ledicia's Key, Yvette Nachmias-Baeu's fourth book, is a genealogical puzzle that pieces clues and follows generations of a family from the Spanish Inquisition to present-day New England. The author reaches backwards and forwards through history to highlight descendants from Generals to artists, from nobility to shopkeepers. Here is a symphony of diverse humanity, of love and war, and not always harmonious - played out in the sharps and flats of personal triumphs and political tragedies.
Encounter ancestors brutally forced from their homeland during the Spanish Inquisition; a great grandfather whose bravery prevented a city from being enveloped in flames; an uncle summoned by a king to negotiate Bulgarian neutrality during a war; and a family who escaped the ravages of history's madman to flee Nazi genocide as refugees seeking safety in Argentina - with all her vignettes wrapped and culminating in a modern-day love story.
Always as we follow the trail of the family, Baeu reminds us of a compelling if hard-won intergenerational truth: that ancestry is more than a DNA test and more than a family tree. It is the prevention of amnesia and the preservation of hard-won wisdom.
"...I couldn't stay away from reading this... the story, her writing and imagery, and language." Chaiya Zalles, Montessori Teacher Trainer
