Tariq Ali tells us the story of the fall of Granada by narrating a family saga of those who tried to survive after the collapse of their world. Particularly deft of evoking what life must have been like for those doomed inhabitants, besieged on till Sides by an intolerant Christendom. This is a novel that has something to say and says it well. Guardian Tariq Ali captures the humanity and splendour of Muslim Spain… an enthralling story, unraveled with thrift and Verve… quizzical as well as honest, informative as well as enjoyable, real history as well as devoured.
