«A la sombra del granado» is the historical novel by Tariq Ali, published by Alianza in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
In fifteenth-century Spain, when the Reconquista has ended and Granada has fallen, a Muslim family that chooses to stay on its lands faces the pressure to convert or leave. The novel follows the community's anguish and the conflicts of faith, identity and culture provoked by the new order.
First installment of the Islam Quintet, it was originally published in 1992 as «Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree»; this Spanish edition is a translation by María Eugenia Ciocchini.
A work for readers of historical fiction interested in the end of al-Andalus and the religious and cultural tensions of fifteenth-century Spain.
