Louise is traveling in Egypt with her father when she meets a mysterious and handsome Arab man named Ahmed Ben Hassan. Despite their cultural differences and the disapproval of her father, Louise falls in love with Ahmed and they begin a passionate affair.However, their happiness is short-lived as Ahmed is soon revealed to be a leader in a rebellion against British rule in Egypt. Louise is torn between her love for Ahmed and her loyalty to her country. As the rebellion grows more violent, Louise must make a difficult decision that will change her life forever.The Shadow of the East is a thrilling and romantic novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and cultural differences. It is a classic tale of forbidden love set against the backdrop of political turmoil and colonialism in early 20th century Egypt.What folly! And lashing him with her tongue she renewed her fruitless efforts. But Craven scarcely heeded her. His eyes were fixed on the little white face on the pillow, and he was praying desperately that she might be spared to him, that his punishment might not take so terrible a form. For the change in her appalled him. Slight and delicate always, she was now a mere shadow of what she had been. If she died!--he clenched his teeth to keep silent--must he be twice a murderer? O Hara San's blood was on his hands, would hers also--....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
