Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree |
| Tariq Ali |
| Verso, 1993, paperback, 242 pp. |
| Islam Quintet #1. Set in post-Reconquista Spain, this novel evokes the fears, tensions and hopes of the recently-subjugated Andalusian Muslim community. Through the story of the Banu Hadail, a Muslim aristocratic family, Ali captures the humanity and splendor of Muslim Spain, as well as the tragedy of its open, cosmopolitan society falling victim to the vengeful, narrow-minded Christian conquerors. History as well as fiction, this is a beautifully told story, with an unexpected--and chilling--epilogue. |
