In parallel stories set in 15th century Portugal and the
1990s, two women search for their identities. Set against historical events of persecution, The Blind Eye, a reference to a prejudiced prophet, creates a narrative about a family expelled from Spain in 1492 and a woman in Miami of Cuban descent.

Funny, smart and dissatisfied with her life, Alegra Cardoza endures her sisters' criticisms about her looks and lifestyle. When she impulsively accepts a job with a cranky professor, it catapults her into the world of Sephardim, Jews of Spanish descent.

A parallel story focuses on Grazia and her niece, Bellina, who are forced to live duplicitous lives. Based on true events at Rossio Square and the forced mass conversions at Os Estaos in
Portugal, the saga takes us from the shores of Europe to South America.

A thrilling novel that spans centuries, The Blind Eye tells the story of perseverance, discovery and commitment.
