Truth and Lies during the Spanish Inquisition

December 10, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I really liked this book.  It is a historical fiction.  I know most students avoid historical fiction, but I enjoy them because they offer me an opportunity to learn about events that I might have limited knowledge about.  Incantation

Well, it is a story about two best friends and how their relationships change during the Spanish Inquisition.  One girl learns that everything she has been told about herself and her family is a lie.  The other girl reacts in a jealous manner, which leads to betrayal.  The story begins slowly but if you stay with it, you will enjoy.
