Across the golden glory of the sky floated the insistent call of the muezzin just as Damaris, followed closely by Wellington, her bulldog, turned out of the narrow street into the Khan el-Khalili. Shrill and sweet, from far and near it came, calling the faithful to prayer, impelling merchants to leave their wares, buyers their purchases, gossips their chatter, and to turn in the direction of Mecca and offer their praise to Allah, who is God.

As the entire male population of the native quarter knelt, the girl drew back beneath an awning of many colours which shaded silken goods from the rays of the sun, whilst curious eyes peeped down upon her from behind the shelter of the masharabeyeh, the harem lattice of finely-carved wood.A tragic love triangle between a beautiful English girl, an English gentleman, and a half-English, half-Egyptian plays out among the ruins and under the desert stars of 1920s era Egypt. The saga ends, as all love triangles must, in tragedy upon the desert sands.

Written in a poetic tone and depicting the same type of love story as you would find in Edith M. Hull’s acclaimed novel, The Sheik, The Hawk of Egypt is a well-known story that goes to the heart of romance and tragedy set in the mystical sands of the Egyptian desert.The story introduces us to a beautiful English girl who soon gets involved in a love triangle with two men: an English gentleman and a man of half-English, half-Egyptian descent who shows interest in her in a romantic and passionate way that she had never been accustomed to. Taken aback, our heroine has to make her choices. But can the often inevitable tragedy of a love triangle be avoided?While set in the 1920s, this story bears a uniquely modern stance that has made it extremely popular in the later part of the 20th century and even during the 21st century. Readers can enjoy an artistically woven, imaginative writing style filled with metaphors and sweet words that one can only find in the most passionately written love poems.Fraught with beauty, love, romance, violence and just the right amount of mysticism, he novel is carefully crafted, with its fast-paced plot evolving quite easily and keeping readers hooked all through to the end. Among the poetic descriptions and inspired words of love and desire spoken between the protagonists, Joan Conquest’s book also seems to resonate with a type of romance that seemed to be entirely forgotten in the West, but remained well and alive in the middle east and orient. The more modern society became removed from its emotions and open toward shifting events in love stories more quickly, much of the beauty and poetry that Europe and England in particular enjoyed during the days of Shakespeare became completely lost.As such, it is of no surprise that a timeless book such as The Hawk of Egypt, that keeps such depictions of love and romance alive, ages like a good wine, continuing to gain favor from its younger fans.
