"Alhambra" by Kirsten Boie is a captivating novel that takes readers on an exciting journey back to 1492 in Granada. The story follows a shy boy named Boston, who is catapulted into a turbulent past during a school trip. By touching an unassuming relic, he finds himself in a time when the peaceful coexistence of religions is threatened by brutal persecution. With a guidebook and a modern cellphone, Boston becomes an anachronism and draws the attention of the Inquisition. His friendship with Tariq, a Muslim, and Salomon, a Jew, gives him hope in a time of religious hatred. "Alhambra" is not only an exciting tale but also a profound commentary on tolerance, friendship, and the universal quest for understanding and peace.
