Yay, new book! Already pre-ordered from Amazon. (Certain Canadian online bookshops are already shipping, grrrrr...)
Anyway, the rise of Islam was somewhat later than that. And it is referred to, most notably when he talks about the statues of the charioteers only being torn down 700 years later. I'd really like him to follow up on that in a novel actually... :-)
I really want to re-read Tigana some time soon, and I've promised someone in this community a Lions fanfic piece for which I may have to re-read substantial parts of that. And I don't have the time. *sulks*
no subject
