Against the Inquisition by Marcos Aguinis

4.0

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

This is the story of a man and his faith. I suppose I was a little naive in that I held out for a happy ending all the way up until the epilogue (even thought I already knew what was going to happen). I couldn't put this book down. I do love historical fiction and this had the perfect blend. Francisco is a Jew trying to find his way during the inquisition in the 1600s. It starts out by going between Francsico's childhood and Francisco as an adult, until you reach the present time. It is both tragic and uplifting in how determined he was to show the inquisition that they were wrong.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history, fiction and a little bit of the inquisition.
