Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree (The Islam Quintet) - Softcover
Tariq Ali tells us the story of the aftermath of the fall of Granada by narrating a family sage of those who tried to survive after the collapse of their world. Ali is particularly deft at evoking what life must have been like for those doomed inhabitants, besieged on all sides by intolerant Christendom. “This is a novel that have something to say, and says it well.” —The Guardian
