Red Smoking Mirror Zusammenfassung

Red Smoking Mirror: 'The love child of JG Ballard and Ursula K Le Guin Joanna Pocock Nick Hunt

With Red Smoking Mirror, Nick Hunt has created the love child of JG Ballard and Ursula K Le Guin - Joanna Pocock, author of Surrender

Shortlisted in the 2024 Edward Stanford Awards for the Viking Award for Fiction with a Sense of Place

The year is 1521 in the Mexica city of Tenochtitlan. Twenty-nine years earlier, Islamic Spain never fell to the Christians, and Andalus launched a voyage of discovery to the New Maghreb.

For two decades the Jewish merchant Eli Ben Abram, who led the first ships across the sea, has maintained a delicate peace in the Moorish enclave of Moctezumas breathtaking capital, assisted by his Nahua wife Malinala. But the emperor has been acting strangely, sacrifices are increasing at the temples, a mysterious sickness is spreading through the city, and there are rumours of a hostile army crossing the sea

A bravura reimagining of an alternate history, Red Smoking Mirror is a richly written novel of love and fate, of how cultures co-operate and clash, and of how individuals can shape and are shaped by the times they live through.

A novel of great originality, humanity, and quest - Dan Richards, author of Outpost
