The Road to Exile / An old man and an very young boy, nearly an infant, re adrift in the Mediterranean, hungry and thirsty. They are in flight from their homeland, Spain, to Italy by boat. Their only possession is a parchment containing all the members of their family and their people. The year is 1492. So begins the award-winning French novel, The Road to Exile, by Didier Nebot. The fugitives are the only survivors of the Benavista clan, an important family living in the century of the Inquisition. This moving saga chronicles the years of persecution, imprisonment, forced and false conversions. Through it all, the members of the Benavista family hold fast to their commitment to Jewish life and practice.
