A touching tale of determination, female friendship and love
against all odds. Inspired by a true story, The Prisoner of Thiago
is a gripping historical novel that lays bare the unimaginable
suffering and fear endured by the Moriscos of Spain during the
sixteenth century. At the heart of the novel is Zaira, a spirited
Morisco girl, who refuses to yield to her Catholic oppressors.
Separated from her family and imprisoned in the palace of a
fanatical bishop, Zaira must summon all of her courage to endure
the horrors and hardships to come. The novel was inspired by a
unique collection of Andalusian manuscript documents dating from
1490 to 1580, which chart the plight of a Morisco family as their
property was expropriated, their rights curtailed and their lives
torn apart during one of the worst pogroms the world has ever seen.
