A Great Love of Small Proportions
A medieval romance set in Seville and the last days of the Alhambra.
Seville, 1489.
The end of the Reconquista.
Diego Sanchis is Seville’s most famous painter; his glorious art fills every church in the famous city. He is also ugly, angry, and a dwarf. Nobody but his father loves him and Diego likes it just that way.
Until one day he is asked to take on a new student.
Mercedes Goncalvez is the most beautiful young woman in the city, and her father is rich and powerful. What could such a woman possibly see in him?
But there are many ways to see beauty. And beyond the dungeons of the Inquisition; beyond betrayal and torture; and even as the Christian cannons are turned towards the heavenly gardens of the Alhambra, Diego and Mercedes find true beauty among the ashes of last hopes.
