«La mano de Fátima» is the historical novel by Ildefonso Falcones, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (955 pages, in Spanish).
In sixteenth-century Spain, Hernando, a young Morisco born of his mother's rape by a priest, grows up rejected by his own people and by Christians. After the Morisco revolt in the Alpujarras, he takes part in an unequal struggle while seeking his identity, freedom and love. Deported to Córdoba, he tries to start a new life in which he continues to fight for tolerance between two clashing cultures and religions.
The novel was published in 2009 by Círculo de Lectores and is set in sixteenth-century Spain, with the Morisco revolt and the city of Córdoba as backdrops; it combines historical fiction with a love story.
