Intriging story about Christopher Columbus. This about how he got the money to sail West and what happens. Engagying.
I have to say that I was tempted to stop reading in the first quarter of the book because the characters and the historical content didn't draw me in.
I'm glad that I stuck with it.
The characters each developed throughout the book with small stories of their own that wove them all together. I was disturbed by the horror of the Inquisition but it made the story that much more heart touching. Main theme of the book? No matter how small or large your dream is, always strive to reach your goal even in the face of opposition and stand behind your own beliefs.
Hope you enjoy!

If you're looking for a silly "bodice buster" this book is not for you...but if you want a big, meaty full-bodied
historical novel such as those of Costain, Shellabarger, or Ken Follett than you've struck gold with this one....
It's bursting with a host of memorable characacters that at some point connect with the remarkable Cristobal Colon. They are from all walks of life and the turbulent era in which they live is so well drawn that you will get to know them and care about their lives over the course of the years it took to launch the fateful expedition that sailed from the harbor of Palos on the October wind, determining the course of history for all time.
