«Red Smoking Mirror» is the alternate history novel by Nick Hunt, published by Faber and Faber in hardcover (261 pages, in English).
In 1521, in the Mexica city of Tenochtitlan, the Jewish merchant Eli Ben Abram maintains a delicate balance in the Moorish enclave of Moctezuma's capital, alongside his Nahua wife Malinala. But the emperor acts strangely, sacrifices in the temples increase, a mysterious disease spreads, and rumors circulate of a hostile army crossing the sea. An alternate history novel about love, destiny, and the clash of cultures.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and alternate histories seeking a setting far from the usual European backdrop, with evocative prose. The edition is in English.
