«Alcazaba» is the historical novel by Jesús Sánchez Adalid, published by Booket in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
In the ninth century, Judit, known as la Guapísima, is widowed and seeks a husband, but is rejected due to coexistence in Mérida among Arabs, Berbers, Muladies, Jews and Christians. Greed and tributes to Córdoba provoke rebellion against Abderramán II, who responds with an army. The novel interweaves Muhamad, Adine, Duke Claudio and the emir.
It is the second instalment of the El mozárabe saga and won the Alfonso X el Sabio Historical Novel Prize 2012.
For readers of historical fiction set in ninth-century Spain.
