“Every Jew should read this book.” The Canary Connection is an historical novel whose central theme is the Jewish experience of the 15thcentury Diaspora - the Spanish edict of expulsion and its connection to Columbus and the Voyage of Discovery - both occurring on the same day, the Ninth of Av. It is a date burned in Jewish history as the ports of Spain teem with escaping Jewish families. Just who was on that boat when it left the port of Palos de la Frontera? While portraying the Jewish experience on a personal level, world characters are presented with distinctive personalities and unique motivations bringing the past to life while confronting the monumental issues of exile and annihilation. A reviewer states: “Readers who marveled at Hillary Mantel’s novels or Ken Follett’s will find The Canary Connection deeply satisfying. But one doesn’t have to be a history buff to feel Spolin’s story resonate.” Your congregation, your community, your family will be enriched by this story of perseverance and triumph. If you are inclined, just reply and I will forward you either an ebook or print copy and welcome your comments or review. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
