Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Leila or, the Siege of Granada, Book V." 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: a father's desperate attempts to protect his daughter Leila's Jewish heritage, and the fall of Muslim Granada to Christian forces. As Almamen shifts allegiances between Christian and Moor, his choices lead to devastating consequences that intertwine personal tragedy with Spain's religious transformation.
