About the book
“The Great Lady” takes us back to the fifth century AH, to tell the story of I’timad al-Rumaykiya — a poet who lost her family when they left Egypt for Andalusia, and ended up as a captive, then a fugitive, on a journey full of difficulties and challenges. After she escapes, her path crosses with a wandering poet in the heart of the desert, and her life becomes intertwined with his fate, until she meets Muhammad ibn Abbad — the Emir of Seville — and goes from slave to queen, living a tragic love story in an era of court intrigues, and the wars of the Taifa kings and the Romans. A novel that blends history and fiction, offering a rich narrative of love, friendship, ambition, belonging, and difficult choices — all amidst the struggles of a turbulent time, where life becomes a test of survival and dignity.
