«En el último azul» is the historical novel by Carme Riera, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (383 pages, in Spanish).
In Mallorca in 1687, a community of converso Jews tries to flee to escape oppression; the denunciation of a malsín before the Inquisition triggers the persecution. The story follows these crypto-Jews, among inquisitors, aristocrats and merchants, and addresses faith, betrayal and the price of freedom.
Translation from Catalan by the author herself; the original text is «Dins el darrer blau».
For readers interested in the history of the Mallorcan conversos and the Inquisition.
