About this book
Granada's palaces, gardens and mountain backdrop frame a Spanish historical romance set amid the aftermath of the city's surrender to Ferdinand and Isabella. Joaquín Telesforo de Trueba y Cosío turns from the Alhambra's former splendor to the unrest that follows conquest, placing private ambition against a landscape of rival faiths and political conflict. In his preface, he links his approach to Walter Scott and describes Gómez Arias as a man driven by extraordinary ambition.
The domestic drama sharpens when Theodora listens to her attendant Lisarda describe preparations for Leonor's wedding. The prospect of royal sponsorship and a splendid procession makes Theodora's growing distress all the more striking.
