Works


The Spartan Court has been described as "polyphonic," offering "a multilayered insight into the historical occupation of Algeria, and, from this, the conflicts of the entire Mediterranean region."[6] It is set in Algiers from 1815 to 1833.[8][6] Yasir Suleiman described the book as "captivating" and "a work to celebrate," with "intertwined narratives that keep the reader glued to its enchanting characters and their tortuous fortunes."[6]

Mountain of Death tells the story of Spanish communists imprisoned in North Africa following the Spanish civil war.[6]
