I haven't read this particular book, but I'd love to:
The Ornament of the World:
How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain
by Marķa Rosa Menocal
A review of this historical fictional novel is of the "vibrant civilization of medieval Spain, The Ornament of the World is the story of an extraordinary place and time. Both history and literature often depict the Middle Ages as a dark and barbaric period, characterized by intellectual backwardness and religious persecution. Now Marķa Rosa Menocal brings us an altogether different vision of medieval Europe, where tolerance was often the rule and literature, science, and art flourished in a climate of cultural openness."
