"A sprawling historical tale...Entertaining." THE KIRKUS REVIEWS Rebecca Lopez, the beautiful, fiery daughter of Roderigo Lopez, Queen Elizabeth's own physician, keeps many secrets. Not only are she and her family conversos, or secret Jews who must practice their religion in secret, but Rebecca craves adventure and walks about London in male dress. One day she actually crosses swords with a fledgling dramatist named Will Shakespeare. And the two embark on an adventure of passion and danger that shakes the very foundations of the Court--and nearly alters the course of history.
In this sprawling tale of Elizabethan England, the heroine, Rebecca Lopez, is the gifted, shapely daughter of the Queen's court physician. The Lopezes are conversos, Spanish Jews posing as Anglicans, and they're involved in a dangerous mission to smuggle Jews out of Spain.
