Geraldine Brooks Quote
The king and queen are preparing an expulsion order— David sucked in his breath. Yes, even as we have feared. They have taken the capitulation of Granada as a sign of divine will that Spain be a Christian country. It is, then, their intention to thank God for their victory by declaring Spain a land where no Jew may remain. The choice is to convert, or depart. They have hatched this plan in secret, but finally the queen has confided it to her old friend Don Seneor. But how could the king and queen do such a thing as this? It is Jewish money—or at least Jewish money raising—that has secured them the victory over the Moors! We have been milked, my brother. And now, like a dry cow, we are to be dispatched to the slaughterhouse.
