Considered the definitive reference work on Doña Gracia Nasi, whose immense fortune was coveted by the kings of Spain, Portugal, the Roman Empire and the Papal states.
Her power, her life as a threatened converso helping other Jews flee to the more « tolerant » Ottoman Empire.
Her determination not to relinquish her Jewish faith.
Brooks and her team spent years of research in archives… Amazing work.
