Terra Incognita Summer Sale Just $12.99 for the Hardcover Edition, including shipping
Offer available only at: http://www.libiastaire.weebly.com Take a virtual trip to Catalonia with this story of a sleepy Catalan village that one day wakes up to discover a long-buried secret: the villagers are all descended from Anusim, Spanish Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity during the Middle Ages. Terra Incognita revolves around the Bonet family, residents of a tiny Catalan village called Sant Joan Januz. Vidal Bonet is a young businessman determined to revive his dying village by building a luxury resort. His grandfather, Miquel, is just as determined to keep the village locked away from strangers and their prying eyes. Their battle for the future of Sant Joan Januz is further complicated by the arrival of a Jewish-American graduate student from Kansas, Chaim Green, who is sure the villagers are his long-lost relatives. And, finally, there is Clara Bonet, who has reluctantly taken on the role of the family's matriarch just when the village's long buried secret is accidentally uncovered. Both poignant and funny, Terra Incognita is a journey of personal discovery that will resonate with anyone who has ever gone on a quest to discover their past - or who has ever lain awake at night wondering where in the world they are going.
