The Quality of Mercy
by Faye Kellerman 7pm Wednesday, October 18 at Panera Porter Square From The New York Times bestselling writer comes this historical novel set in Elizabethan England (the title refers to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice). The story revolves around privileged Rebecca Lopez who has personal and religious secrets to protect. Rebecca is a converso -- a Jew from Spain or Portugal who outwardly practiced Catholicism to escape persecution or exile in 14th and 15th century Europe. Yearning to experience the more exciting life men can lead, Rebecca often takes to the bustling streets of London in male garb. Kellerman, who is Orthodox and has a doctorate in dentistry, has written more than two dozen novels, most of them mysteries with Jewish themes. Both Kellerman’s husband Jonathan and son Jesse are established writers.
