Strange Frenzy

There is a strange frenzy in my head,

of birds flying,

each particle circulating on its own.

Is the one I love everywhere?

Omg I want to read this too!

So very excited to start this book! With practice, inshaAllah, I’ll improve my Arabic. Radwa Ashour is a novelist, critic, and Professor of English literature in Egypt. Granada is the first part of a trilogy and was named Best Book of the Year by the General Egyptian Book Organization in 1994, and won first prize in the first Arab Women’s Book Fair two years later. The book sends us on a journey as we try to remember the lost shards of Islamic Spain. A work of historical fiction set in the aftermath of the Castilian takeover of the lone Islamic kingdom of Granada in 1492, Granada tells the story of an extended family grappling with the consequences of that political catastrophe for the Muslim community. I have never been so excited to delve into a paperback as I am now. I know once I’m done I’ll need the English version.
