Orovida es la crónica, desde un punto de vista femenino (que no feminista), del destino de una mujer en el reinado de los Reyes Católicos. La novela se inicia en 1476, durante los festejos organizados en Toledo con ocasión de la victoria de Isabel y Fernando sobre los portugueses, donde David Villeda, un rico comerciante judío, y su bella esposa, Orovida, contemplan el espectáculo desde un balcón, sin participar en la alegría general. Sobre la comunidad judía se cierne la amenaza de Torquemada, el fanático confesor de la reina. Guiladi describe con detalle un momento en que diferentes credos intentaban convivir de forma pacífica respetando unas normas de convivencia aceptadas por todos, si bien no exenta de conflictos y recelos que acabaron desembocando en un enfrentamiento abierto. Esta obra es todo un ejemplo para afrontar y comprender nuestro presente.
