As I wrote earlier, in my free time I read a new book titled Ildefonso Falcones Hand of Fatima. At the request of the blog readers, I wanted to share my first impressions.
I have to admit that they do not read much - only 200 pages, so by the end of almost 800, but the book has affected me very positive impression and you only have a minute, I reach for her to continue to follow the fate of Hernando - an illegitimate son Muslim women raped by the priest, who is repelled by both Muslims and Christians.
The book takes place in turbulent times, when Muslims living in the Iberian peninsula for hundreds of years suddenly became a minority. While reading it was impossible to overlook the terrible and eloquent scenes, when they forced the Muslims force Christians to convert to their faith. After a series of humiliations, Christians, Muslims denounce the war. Treat them with brutality and ruthlessness - do not spare neither women nor children.
The carnage inflicted which Muslims, Christians, Hernando Fatima rescues a beautiful girl, falls in love, but the girl already noted his stepfather, who decided to marry her ...
Further part of the story has not yet met, but I recommend the book because it can reach a lot about the history and sectarian fighting that took place in the Iberian Peninsula in the sixteenth century.
