Some stories are passed down through generations. Others are hidden until the world is ready to hear them.

Amsterdam, 1942.

At the last Shabbat table before his death, the great-grandfather of the author begins to tell a story that stretches across centuries.

It is the story of a Sephardic Jewish family that fled Judea after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE and traveled through Alexandria, Rome, Toledo and Lisbon before eventually reaching Amsterdam.

Across generations they built trading networks, crossed oceans and helped shape the mercantile world of Europe and the Atlantic.

But they also carried a secret.

Hidden among prayer books, shipping documents and carefully guarded silences is a mysterious manuscript written in Toledo - a document meant to be revealed only when the world is ready.

At the table with de Casseres is not only a historical novel but a powerful family chronicle of diaspora, survival and memory.

Through stories told around a Shabbat table, the reader travels through centuries of persecution, tolerance, ambition and loss - until the narrative returns to wartime Amsterdam, where the fate of the family hangs in the balance.

A sweeping Sephardic Jewish family saga spanning two thousand years of diaspora, exile and survival. Get your copy today and travel through centuries of Sephardic history in a story of courage, faith, and family.
