A historical novel that captures the intricacies of life in Egypt during a period of political tension, likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Donovan Pasha, an English secretary to the Khedive, and Captain Renshaw, an American consular officer, as they navigate complex cultural dynamics and the enigmatic character of Abdalla, an influential Egyptian who deeply understands the sentiments of the populace. The story delves into themes of identity, power, and revolution in the face of colonial rule. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the vibrant yet chaotic city of Cairo, viewed from a minaret where Donovan Pasha and Renshaw observe a funeral procession marked by deep emotions and tradition. The funeral of Noor-ala-Noor, a significant character in the story, sets the stage for the rising tensions, as Abdalla, a key figure, delivers an impassioned speech that hints at looming unrest. Dicky Donovan's concern for the political situation becomes clear as he seeks to draw Abdalla back from the native quarters, believing he possesses the ability to influence the shifting tides of power in Egypt. This establishes a narrative filled with anticipation and the potential for conflict as the characters grapple with their roles amidst a society on the brink of change.
