What I'm Listening to at the Moment - I, Juan de Pareja

I, Juan de Pareja - Elizabeth Borton de Trevino

I am up to CD 1 out of 4. I am enjoying it so far. I would recommend listening to this one rather than reading, so you get all the pronunciation right :) This is from Christian Audio 

In the era of Rembrandt, Spain has its own great painter, Diego Velázquez. His assistant is Juan, an African slave who becomes an artist himself. Self-taught by watching his master’s technique, Juan is torn between the need to keep his secret—for the creation of art is forbidden to slaves—or revealing his own talents.
