Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree
A Novel
Tariq Ali captures the humanity and splendor of Muslim Spain . . . real history as well as fiction . . . a book to be relished and devoured (The Independent). The savagery of the Reconquest tore apart the world of the Banu Hudayl family. For the doomed Muslims of late-fifteenth-century Spain, the approaching forces of Christendom bring not peace but the sword. Capturing the brutality of a war both military and cultural-and the price paid by the innocent-Tariq Ali opens his Islam Quintet with a harrowing and profound historical fiction.
