The Stone Woman is the third novel of Tariq Ali’s “Islam Quartet.” Like its predecessors – Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree and The Book of Saladin – its power lies both in the story-telling and the challenge it poses to stereotyped images of life under Islam.
Tariq Ali is a writer and filmmaker. He has written more than a dozen books on world history and politics – including Pirates of the Caribbean, Bush in Babylon, The Clash of Fundamentalisms and The Obama Syndrome – as well as five novels in his Islam Quintet series and scripts for the stage and screen. He is an editor of the New Left Review and lives in London.
