Sinossi
EUROPE, 1480s. In war-plagued western Europe, is there hope for a Christian boy who meets a Muslim girl?
Young genius Newt's gift for language turns a curse when he blurts out in Latin about the devil at his parish church. Facing charges of witchery, he flees England to join his father's wool trade as a translator. Newt meets a merchant traveling from the Muslim Nasrid Kingdom in Iberia who has a similar problem. His daughter Aisha, a prodigy who sees mathematical patterns in nature, is threatened by warfare waged by the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabel.
Newt and Aisha meet under the care of a tutor, Peter, a young priest from the Universities of Paris. Peter enlists them in his scheme to travel to the Nasrid Kingdom to rescue Arabic books from the ravages of war. But Peter does not plan on his youthful charges falling in love, a love taboo to both of their religions. When warfare drives the lovers apart, they vow to reunite.
Newt follows Aisha's trail through war-plagued Western Europe, pausing for stints as a book publisher's assistant, a translator for an English knight, and an aide to his tutor as the pair strive to rescue books in Nasrid libraries from the approaching Castilian army.
The Wool Translator explores scenes as diverse as student life in Paris, Henry Tudor’s efforts to claim the English throne, the early book printing business, and the final skirmishes of the Castilian-Nasrid war.
Meticulously researched, The Wool Translator won the Jameson Award (UOP Conference on Creative Writing) and was short-listed for the Chaucer Book Award (Chanticleer Reviews).
