Snag Your Copy The Desert Healer Articulated By E.M. Hull Conveyed In EText
this was completely pot luck, I found it at an antique store for two bucks and took a gamble, Its not literature, you know But its a diversion and makes a good palate cleanser between meatier fare.
In my book, there are three black and white screenplay plates, but don't get excited, Hollywood being what it is, none of the scenes depicted in the screenshots actually occurred in the book.
Ha!
Anyway, the storyline, A Rory Frosttype 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

Thematic elements: domestic abuse, lust
MY RATING: Mild PG
If you decide to read this I hope you can avoid the earworms that plagued me.
"Midnight at the oasis" and "Sheik of Araby" Boa ideia inicial, desperdiçada pelas repetições desnecessárias e pelos exageros.
Soy incondicional de esta autora, El libro está bien, el personaje es de la misma forma de ser que los de sus dos otros libros The Sheikh y The Shadow of the East pero esta historia es de nivel algo menor.
Aún así, un placer leerla, El exotismo del paisaje se imbrica en la historia de los dos protagonistas de manera creíble y real.
