The Rose of Thirteen Petals and the Pomegranate Tree (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798902740063)

Kitra Vardi's quest for Spanish citizenship turns into an enthralling journey across centuries. To access the Royal Spanish Archives, she must prove her family's roots stretch back before 1492-- before the Spanish Inquisition and expulsion tore her ancestors from their homeland.But as Kitra traces her Sephardic lineage to eleventh-century Spain, her present life unravels. Her beloved mentor Bina is dying. Her lover Soli has left. Alone with grief and the ancient wisdom of the Zohar, Kitra's research into her family's past yields mystical encounters with her ancestors and spellbinding journeys through time. As Kitra walks the same path as her foremothers, she climbs toward enlightenment one revelation at a time. Navigating past and present, sacred texts and lived experience, she must piece together not just her family's story, but forge her own way forward as she comes to embrace her identity as a modern Sephardic woman.A luminous exploration of heritage, loss, and the stories that shape us.
