Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Leila or, the Siege of Granada, Book I." by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a historical romance novel published in 1838. Set in Granada during the summer of 1491, the story weaves together two parallel narratives: the personal fate of Leila, a young Jewish woman, and the public drama of Granada's fall. As her father shifts allegiances between Christian and Moorish forces, Leila finds herself torn between her heritage, her Moorish lover, and the pressures of religious conversion in a rapidly changing Spain.
