Description
"Leila or, the Siege of Granada, Book II." by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a historical romance novel published in 1838. Set in Granada during the summer of 1491, the novel weaves together two parallel stories: the fall of Muslim Granada and the fate of Leila, a Jewish woman caught between her heritage and forced conversion. Her father shifts allegiances between Christian and Moor while attempting to protect her from both her Moorish lover and the encroaching Christian monarchs.
