Inhaltsangabe

This fast moving and exciting historical novel takes the reader into the medieval world of the merchants and seafarers who sail along the western coast of the Mediterranean, and the pirates who terrorise them. Set in 11th century Málaga, ‘The Pirate’ is the second book in The City of Dreams trilogy. Early one morning, the ambitious pirate captain, al-Awar, makes a lightning raid on the shipyard in Málaga and kidnaps Bakr, a master shipbuilder, and two of his workmen. Before anyone can do anything about it, they have disappeared. No-one has any idea why the pirates have taken them or where they have gone, but everyone agrees that only one of two fates await them: death or slavery. When Bakr’s wife receives the news, she is heartbroken but refuses to listen to those who say there is little hope of ever finding her husband alive. Instead she is determined to discover where the pirates have taken him. With the entire Mediterranean to hide in, finding the kidnapped men seems to be an impossible task, but she refuses to give up and motivates her family and friends to search for him.At the heart of this novel is the tender love story of Aisha and Bakr’s deep feelings for each other. It is the thought of her that helps to keep him alive while he is in captivity with little prospect of ever seeing his home and family again, and it is her love for him that gives her the strength to never give up hope of bringing him home.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joan Fallon was born in Scotland and grew up with a love for literature and a longing to write. For many years she worked as a teacher with a particular interest in history and English, then as a management consultant. When she moved to Málaga in Spain in the late nineties, she devoted her time to learning about the culture and history of her adopted country, particularly its Moorish heritage. This research led to her writing two historical fiction series set in Medieval Spain and a number of other historical novels. Joan also writes contemporary fiction about families, relationships and the challenges women in particular have to face. More recently she has turned to crime fiction with the indefatigable private detective Jacaranda Dunne.
