El 7 de marzo de 1687, un grupo de jud�os conversos mallorquines, temiendo ser detenidos por la Inquisici�n, decidieron embarcarse rumbo a tierras de libertad. El mal tiempo frustr� su huida, fueron apresados y, finalmente, treinta y siete de ellos condenados a la hoguera en cuatro Autos de Fe, en la primavera de 1691.

En el �ltimo azul, Premio Nacional de Narrativa, recrea c�mo vivieron y murieron los criptojud�os mallorquines del siglo XVII, en un mundo en el que se entrecruzan inquisidores, arist�cratas, comerciantes, campesinos, bandoleros o mujeres venales, ofreciendo un amplio mosaico de acontecimientos, en cuya trama el lector queda atrapado desde las primeras p�ginas.

La cr�tica ha dicho...
�En el �ltimo azul es una excelente novela que permitir� al lector amante de lo literario descubrir un fil�n de placer... Cuando en una novela el lector no puede casi levantar sus ojos de ella, aferrado al desarrollo de una densa trama, enganchado al primoroso destilar de su intriga y necesitado de llegar a un ansiado final apenas queda otras cosa que descubrirse ante su autor.�
Ram�n Ac�n, Heraldo de Arag�n

�En el �ltimo azul est� a la altura de las mejores novelas: por su ambici�n, por el rigor y la riqueza ling��stica, por la habilidad para barajar invenci�n y tradici�n y por dotar de un pensamiento actual a una novela hist�rica, sin que pierda por ello el sabor de �poca.�
Fernando Valls, El Mundo

�Enel �ltimo azul es una ajustada y bien construida novela contra los horrores de la intolerancia.�
Miguel Garc�a-Posada, El Pa�s
