Description
A Ceiling Made of Eggshells by Gail Carson Levine is a moving and ambitious story set during a pivotal moment in history. Loma, a young Jewish girl, lives with her large family in the judería of Alcalá de Henares, Spain. When her grandfather, Belo, decides to bring her along on his travels, she embarks on adventures that are beyond the scope of most girls of the time. As Loma experiences life alongside her grandfather, she learns about the dangers facing the Jews of Spain and the importance of her grandfather's influence in keeping their people safe. However, as she grows older, Loma longs to realize her own dreams - if Belo will ever allow her to leave his side. This powerful story explores themes of family, identity, and the struggle for survival during a time of great turmoil. Set against the backdrop of the expulsion of Jews from Spain, A Ceiling Made of Eggshells is a heart-wrenching tale of one young girl's journey towards self-discovery and her place in the world.
