Summary:
The story begins when Juan, a young history teacher, finds some ancient manuscripts in a hidden cupboard in his house in Almonacid de la Sierra (Zaragoza). The books seem to be written in Arabic, but after trying to read some pages he realises that they are in fact 'aljamiados' - texts written in Spanish but with Arabic letters. One of the books tells the story of a family in the village that was expelled in 1609. Encouraged by his grandfather, Juan decides to investigate the story further, and to do so he seeks the collaboration of experts in the field.--Amazon.com.
