"Hermando, no, Please.
Hanna's still a girl. She made a mistake. "My mother appealed to my
father even as she, too, made preparation for our long journey.
The air in the front room of our home that served as our place of
trade reeked with anger and frustration. Despair replaced
hope. Three months had passed since the Edict of Expulsion on
the thirty-first of Adar. Originally we were to leave on the
first day of Ab but the monarchs in their cruel contempt gave us one
more day. |

In parallel stories set in the 15th
century Portugal and the 1990's, two women explore their identities.
Set against historical events, The Blind Eye creates a sweeping
narrative about a family expelled from Spain connecting forward
across time to a modern woman of Cuban descent.
