Seville, 1490. Diego Vásquez is a successful painter and a converso, descended from Jews compelled to adopt Christianity. His commissions bring him into churches and noble households, but one accusation of concealed belief could place his art, family and life within reach of the Inquisition.
Diego's relationship with Mencía Gonçalvez, a noblewoman promised elsewhere, unfolds as Isabella and Ferdinand complete the war against Granada and intensify religious conformity. Previously published in an earlier form as A Great Love of Small Proportion, the revised novel treats artistic ambition and forbidden love within a society policing ancestry and faith.
