The Alhambra
Decree (Book one of the Flower from Castile Trilogy) by Lilian Gafni is an
excellent historical fiction. It depicts life in Spain during the time of Queen
Isabella, Columbus and the Spanish Inquisition.
The story
revolves around a young girl who is kidnapped because of her Jewish heritage.
The author did a great job of developing each of the main characters in the
story. They were very believable and easy to identify with. Lilian Gafni’s
style of storytelling allowed you to feel the anguish and get into the mind of
the characters. I love reading a book where you could almost smell the smells
and hear the horse as the story goes along.
The author
did an excellent job of weaving a complex tale with several storylines. It was
easy to follow along and not get lost with each twist and turn in the various
storylines. I especially like being able to put myself into story.
I really
enjoyed The Alhambra Decree by Lilian Gafni and I highly recommend this book to
all readers.
