“. . . A richly textured story in which Alfonso and his family struggle to retain their values and traditions in the face of relentless and bloody persecution. . . . It is a family in which every aspect of life is determined by the secret of their identity and by Spain’s then-fanatical obsession with ‘cleansing’ itself of all non-Christian peoples. . . Incognito throws new, bright light on a very dark period in Spanish history.”
