Book
The Red Towers of Granada
First published 1966
A young Jewish protagonist and his family face persecution, war and displacement as Christian forces close on Granada. Court politics and religious pressure shape decisions about conversion, flight and survival.
The novel places the conquest of Granada beside the expulsion of Spain’s Jews, refusing to treat 1492 only as a triumph of national unification. Ferdinand and Isabella’s policies are experienced through a minority community whose knowledge and loyalty offer no lasting security.
