The Last Shabbat: A Historical Novel of Memory and Resistance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791097675554)

What if a painting could open a door into the past?

Amsterdam, 2025.
When Alma Linaers, an art conservator, begins restoring a small family painting, something impossible happens. Beneath the varnish, the pigments shift. Light stirs. And the past wakes up.

Seville, 1492.
On the eve of the Expulsion, three brothers gather for their final Shabbat together. One will flee into exile. One will hide in the shadows. One will survive by renouncing his faith. Their choices will echo across centuries.

As antisemitism resurfaces in present-day Europe, Alma discovers that the painting is not just an heirloom - it is a door. A bridge between lives, a vessel of memory, a message left for her to find.

The Last Shabbat is a moving dual-timeline novel about identity, transmission, and the fragile light that persists through history.

A spellbinding tale of memory, identity, and the choices that define us across time. A story of survival, inheritance, and the threads that bind one generation to the next.
