SUMMARY:Jewish Fantasy and Scifi Book Club: The Familiar
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to our book club as we discuss The Familiar by 
 Leigh Bardugo!\nFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardug
 o comes a spellbinding novel set in the Spanish Golden Age.\n\nIn a shabby
  house\, on a shabby street\, in the new capital of Madrid\, Luzia Cotado 
 uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion
 . But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering 
 in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles\, she deman
 ds Luzia use those gifts to improve the family's social position.\n\nWhat 
 begins as simple amusement for the nobility takes a perilous turn when Luz
 ia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez\, the disgraced secretary to Spain
 's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada\, the king is despera
 te for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen—and Pér
 ez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor.\n\nDetermined to seize
  this one chance to better her fortunes\, Luzia plunges into a world of se
 ers and alchemists\, holy men and hucksters\, where the lines between magi
 c\, science\, and fraud are never certain. But as her notoriety grows\, so
  does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's 
 wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—eve
 n if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santángel\, an embittered 
 immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.\nMor
 e information about this warm and engaging book club can be found here.&nb
