Title: Interesting plot but not well written
Review: It is As If the premise of this book licensed the author to write a book badly and with more As If's than humanly possible on one page. Unfortunately, I had recently completed "Where She Has Gone" by Nino Rici. It also suffers from the As If problem. One particular page of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon contained over eight As If phrases. I found the author's lack of verbal imagination distressing. The plot is interesting and my need to know who did it kept me reading. I do wonder about the historical authenticity of nude and lascivious blacksmith's in the 1500's. Read "Tuesday's with Morrie" instead.
