''I was utterly spellbound. The author has made momentous historical events feel personal and human.' Rachel Caldecott
'Weaves a wonderfully vivid tale of political and religious intrigue, transporting us between the rugged coasts of Scotland and the richest city in sixteenth-century Europe ' Richard Sheehan
‘Vivid and compelling. Bethia is a memorable character. Perfect for fans of the Shardlake series.’ M Lynes, author of Blood Libel’
Europe 1547. The rising tide of the Reformation threatens bloody revolution while the terror of the Inquisition grows, even for those who have converted.
Bethia, newly married tries to find her way in Antwerp, both the city and family she now belongs to a constant source of confusion – and sometimes fear. While her brother Will, enslaved on a French galley, doubts there will ever be an end to his torment.
Divided by both distance and faith, Bethia and Will each desperately seek a place of refuge from the looming maelstrom.
But there is no safe haven… unless Will denies his beliefs and Bethia surrenders those she loves. And yet the power of family can triumph/prevail, in unexpected ways.
'An engaging sequel to The Castilians and a fascinating insight into the plight of Jewish converts in 16th century Antwerp.' Award winning author Margaret Skea
'I highly recommend The Conversos to readers who love great historical fiction.’ Jean M Roberts, The Book’s Delight
