A review by treylathe
Gateway to the Moon by Mary Morris

4.0

This was a good read and does what I want historical fiction to do: keep me engaged and pique my curiosity about historical events. The book is written alternating between 1492-early 1600's and 1992. I found the parts about the 16th century Spain and Mexico fascinating and plausible, and spurred me on to learn more about the Inquisition and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Though well written, I did take off a star for the fact that the early part seemed to jump from generation to generation that made it a bit hard to follow at times and the story about 1992 was, in some way, not satisfying in it's conclusion, though I can't put my finger on it.

All in all, a book definitely worth reading.
