Listen, Sefarad

A historical novel with an epic sweep that transports us to a vibrant and little-known past

For a thousand years, four Jewish families—the Taragan, the Toledano, the Corduví, and the Barceló—have guarded a silent treasure: an illuminated manuscript written by many hands, preserving the stories and rituals of an entire people. It has been hidden in the Jewish quarters, through burning cities, and they have risked everything to preserve its words and illustrations.
From Roman Tarraco to the Barcelona of James I, through the siege of Toledo by the Saracens and Andalusian Córdoba, the Haggadah—a silent treasure that preserves the folk tales and rituals of an entire people—has journeyed in secret through the shadows of history.

It has endured persecution, betrayal, forbidden love, and desperate escapes. No one knows how it has survived.

Only one thing is certain: only one woman, the beautiful Míriam, can complete the final sentence. But… will she write it before it's too late?
