«La calle de la judería» is the historical novel by Toti Martínez de Lezea, published by Embolsillo in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
Set in fifteenth-century Vitoria, it tells the story of two related families, one Jewish and one Christian, whose ties are strained by religious and political pressures. The physician David and his sons, also doctors, embody an era that led to the expulsion of the Sephardim and the forced conversion of many Jews.
Subtitled «Una familia judeoconversa en el siglo XV», the work originally appeared in 1998; this edition is from 2005.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the fifteenth-century Crown of Castile, Judeo-Christian coexistence and family conflicts.
