Ragen, Naomi - The Ghost of Hannah Mendes (Paperback)

In The Ghost of Hannah Mendes, Naomi Ragen weaves together two powerful narratives: the present-day story of Catherine da Costa, a wealthy Manhattan matriarch who senses her family’s legacy slipping away, and the historical tale of her 16th-century Sephardic ancestor, Hannah Mendes, a businesswoman who escaped the Spanish Inquisition and forged a path of resilience. When Catherine is visited by Hannah’s ghost, she sets her granddaughters Suzanne and Francesca on a journey across Europe to recover lost pages of Hannah’s memoir—and along the way they confront their heritage, their choices and the meaning of family. Blending supernatural elements, historical fiction and modern dilemmas of faith and identity, this novel invites readers to explore how the past lives on in the present.
