Book excerpt: More than five hundred years on from Columbus's first voyage to America, the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean is brought to fresh and vivid life in this dazzling novel. 'Sea of Lentils' interweaves four narratives; one explores the ambitions and disappointments of Philip the Second as he lies on his death-bed; another the clandestine origins of the slave trade in the activities of the English merchant-venturer John Hawkins; a third describes the extermination of the French Huguenot colony in Florida - all complemented by the story of a common soldier accompanying Columbus on his second voyage.
