Purity of Blood | Arturo Perez-Reverte

Pickpick

I'm enjoying the Captain Alatriste historical adventure series, set in 17th century Spain. This 2nd book deals with the Spanish Inquisition's persecution of those with Jewish blood -- some serious themes mixed in with swashbuckling fun.

I'd read this for May's #FoodandLit challenge. My husband and I visited Barcelona last fall and loved the offerings at the pincho bars, so I included a couple of photos here. @Catsandbooks @Texreader
