  <default_description>From a New York Times bestselling author comes a journey of  loss and rebirth with a startling premise inspired by historical fact.  Estrella is a Marrano: one of the Spanish Jews living double lives when  those who refused conversion risked everything. Estrella's discovery that  her family secretly practices the ancient way of wisdom known as kabbalah  leads her to her true self and true love-but also to a devastating  confrontation with unimaginable evil, unleashed by the betrayal of a  friend. With themes of faith, friendship, and persecution, Alice Hoffman's  tragic and beautiful novel resonates profoundly in our times.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent YA book.  Set during the Inquisition in Spain, a 16 year old girl learns her family's secrets and her true self in a devestating manner.  From the back of the book &quot; Estrella de Madrigal thought she knew herself: daughter, granddaughter, dearest friend.  But truth is rare in this crue...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68757032">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very short story about a family of secret Jews living in 1500's Spain. As short as it was, I found it difficult to get into. It was a long time before I could even say for certain what it was about, and even then it lacked story. I listened to this on audiobook and had no idea how long it ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64150593">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really loved this book. It was a very quick and easy read but the language was so pretty. It really painted images in my mind.<br/><em>Incantation</em> is about a family who is torn apart just because they are different from everybody else.

    <body><![CDATA[A very quick read, or, listen. This book went by so fast, I think I was missing parts. But I did not miss the terror, intensity, haunting nature of a part of history that, yet again, I was not as familiar with before. A great (plus short and fast!) read for teens to give them an idea of what it may ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51244366">more...</a>]]></body>
