About This Book

Set in mid-16th-century Portugal, the narrative follows a member of the community of recent converts as social suspicion, religious zeal, and court intrigue converge around personal misfortune and public ceremonies. The author interweaves documented events and imagined episodes to show the influence of clerical orders, tensions within royal authority, and the workings of prejudice and accusation. Scenes range from intimate domestic crisis to public festivals and theological debate, and the text reflects on the novelist’s liberties with historical fact while probing conscience, institutional power, and the clash between tradition and emerging liberal ideas.
