A Rory Frost-type character (M.M. Kaye' s Trade Wind) hides himself in the Algerian desert after his faithless wife leaves him and his child dies. He basically "goes native" but not having lost his love for country, he acts as mediator between governments and Arabian tribes. Officially, however he is a desert doctor.

Having been burned in love, he hates women and no female is allowed near his dwellings. But one night, on galloping past a deserted ruin, he hears a woman screaming for help in English. He rescues the damsel who is near to being ravished and/or killed by a villanous Arab and he takes her to her home.

As it turns out, the girl is married to a horrible brute of a man not much better than her attacker. But married she stays until...unless...

Can treachery, sandstorms, past heartache and hate thwart two destined to love?

 
Autorenporträt
E.M. Hull (1880-1947) was an English romance novelist. Born in London, Hull was the daughter of a Canadian mother and a father from New York City. As a girl, Hull visited Algeria with her family, providing the setting for many of her successful novels, including The Sheikh (1919), an international bestseller. Notoriously reclusive, Hull settled in Derbyshire with her husband, a civil engineer and pig farmer, with whom she had a daughter, Cecil Winstanley Hull. The Sheikh served as source material for a popular 1921 silent film of the same name by Paramount, leading to the sale of millions of copies of Hull's novel.
