The unexpected and moving story of an American journalist who works to uncover her family’s long-buried Jewish ancestry in Spain.
Raised a Catholic in California, New York Times journalist Doreen Carvajal is shocked when she discovers that her background may actually be connected to conversos in Inquisition-era Spain , Jews who were forced to renounce their faith and convert to Christianity or face torture and death. With vivid childhood memories of Sunday sermons, catechism, and the rosary, Carvajal tra

The Forgetting River: A Modern Tale of Survival, Identity, and the Inquisition by Doreen Carvajal Book Review
Name: M Kairey
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: well written
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020
Review: Writer is a pro and the result is a very readable book. As a family history, it disappoints. I was interested in the book because my Sephardic Jewish family has a proven Y-Dna link to a Guatemalan man with the last name Caravajal. It turns out the author’s pedigree stops at her GG grandfather. Since he was “illegitimate” only his mother’s name was listed, and she had the surname of Caravajal. So, the author was unable to trace back any further. The connection to Spain, and to the area she spent time in, was based on family legend. Her connection to conversos is also based on legend, a menorah in the drawer, and feelings she had.
My ancestors, and presumably hers as well, suffered unthinkable persecution. I was dismayed when the author compared the centuries of brutal torture of conversos, guilty only of possibly practicing remnants of Judaism, with the waterboarding of terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. One can make an argument against any sort of torture, but there is a difference between innocents and killers who wish to plot another Sept 11 style attack.
Overall, a literary and enjoyable book

Title: Appealing, meaningful patchwork
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014
Review: In her two-star review, Miranda criticizes “that single threads of the book are separated from each other by other threads.” In my view, every single one of the two dozen chapters contributes important aspects of Doreen Carvajal’s story spanning from Spain to Costa Rica and over California and France back to Spain. In the patchwork structure of her narration, Doreen Carvajal mirrors the puzzle-like bit by bit completion of her recovered familiar history. As a skilled French/Spanish/English speaking journalist, she masters the art of writing, leading the writer ultimately to a sensible gestalt picture put together by 24 puzzle parts. Without the intention to write a scholarly book about Jewish identities broken or unbroken by Spanish inquisition — or recovered in modern times as in her personal case — she en passant conveys a colorful sketch of Europe’s anti-Jewish past from the Reyes Catolicos’ eviction edict of 1492 up to anti-Zionism of 2012. In her very down-to-earth way of reconstructing political within personal history, everything human from personal biographies to motor cycles and gastronomic recipes contributes to the whole, just as the subtle cloth embroideries are an important part of Pedro Berreguete’s painting of a stake burning that cleaves the landscape cover of Carvajal’s “The Forgetting River”. Whereas this book against forgetting appealed to me not least because of my similar rediscovery of familiar rootedness, Carvajal’s patchwork is rewarding for every reader defining herself or himself, in Viktor E. Frankl’s diction, as “man in search for meaning”.

Title: Who Am I?”
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012
Review: In 1492, Jews of Spain were give a choice: leave, die, or convert. Many died at the stake or under torture. My ancestors fled to the Netherlands, then England and remained overt Jews from Spain, Sephardim. Some who stayed in Spain converted under duress. A few of these converted Jews took enormous risks to remember their heritage: the Anusim, the forced ones.
My friend, Diane, whose family has been Catholic for generations, like Carvajals, told me about “The Forgetting River.” In her family, too, there have been hints and clues of a hidden heritage, of the often life-or-death struggle to both conceal and keep a Jewish identity.
Thus, I began reading “The Forgetting River” for my friend’s sake, yet within the first few pages, kept reading for the book’s own qualities. The center around which the stories turn is the Spanish town of Arcos de la Frontera, one of the white villages on the steep hill slopes. It lies above the Guadalete, named from one of the four rivers in Hades — -Lethe, the river from which souls returning to the upper world drink, to forget their past lives.
The author and her family have moved from France because her possible Anusim ancestors may have left from the nearby port of Cadiz in the time of the Spanish conquest of central and south America. By living and studying in Arcos (among other places whose archives she searched), she wanted to understand their past and present lives.
Her story shuttles across 500 years: the family betrayed to the Inquisition and burned at the stake in Mexico, the courageous grandmother whose dying rejection of rituals may have continued a long-hidden other life, her Aunt Luz, the candle of memory across generations, the tenderly limned people of Arcos and the streets, buildings, caves, and tunnels through which the very walls remember.
The struggle continues for the author as for others whose ancestors chose to convert rather than die or flee in 1492. “Who am I?” can be informed by genetic testing but is mostly a mosaic of clues from family memories and traditions. My friend seeks Israeli citizenship as a converted Jew and convinced Anusim; in “The Forgetting River”, the author takes herself to that border of remembering.
As a story, the book is a page-turner. It is always well written as one would expect from an accomplished journalist and author. It is, however, at times thinly written, and perhaps would have benefitted from including more voices than her own. None-the-less, highly recommended for what it is and for all who are drawn to history, in part for Santana’s “Those who forget the past, are doomed to repeat it.” One estimate has about 20% of Spain — still that most Catholic country — are of Jewish blood.

Title: Another Slice of History
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2014
Review: I bought this book because I have written about conversos and the The Inquisition. I’m amazed sometimes about how little people are familiar with the prejudice and murderous intolerance of 15th c. Spain/Portugal. The Sephardim were chased around the world for 400 years! Many went to Portugal and were exiled 5–7 years later, took off for Brazil where there was a tolerant Dutch colony, were thrown out of there when the Portuguese got it back and headed for New Amsterdam. A beautiful culture that appreciated and respected learning was destroyed by jealousy and fear. Doreen Caravajal did an excellent job of telling her family story. There’s more. I’m researching The Inquisition in Mexico where the evil ones were still burning people at the stake in the 1800s.
