Omschrijving

Everything that Qasim has worked for is about to be destroyed. His youngest son has fallen in love with the caliph's favourite concubine, and if he is caught, he will suffer the death penalty and the rest of the family will be exiled.

This is the tale of a Spanish city, a city that is now in ruins: Madinat al Zahra. The year is 947 AD, a time when southern Spain is under the rule of the Moors. Caliph al Rahman III is rich, powerful and cultured. His lands are, at long last, at peace and the capital, Córdoba, is considered to be not only the most beautiful city in the civilised world but also the seat of learning and culture.

The artisan Qasim and his family have moved to Madinat al Zahra to make their fortunes. Qasim is a good husband and father. He works hard, says his prayers and keeps out of trouble. But when a stranger arrives, asking questions about his past, Qasim knows his world is about to be overturned. He has to take action.

Exotic, romantic, and rich with historical detail, this page-turning novel is the timeless story of love, family, and the unexpected consequences of our actions.

The Shining City is a BRAG Medallion honouree.
