Synopsis

In "Bedouins," James Huneker takes readers on a mesmerizing journey through the sands of the Middle East, weaving a tapestry of rich sensory experiences and cultural reflections. This evocative work captures the essence of the Bedouin lifestyle, emphasizing themes of freedom, tradition, and the interplay between nature and human existence. Huneker'Äôs literary style blends lyrical prose with vivid imagery, drawing the reader into a world where the desert becomes a character in its own right, while also serving as a poignant critique of modern civilization's encroachment on ancient ways of life. James Huneker was an influential American music and literary critic whose diverse interests in art, culture, and travel greatly informed his writing. His firsthand experiences in the Middle East, coupled with a philosophical inclination towards understanding humanity's relationship with the natural world, deeply influenced "Bedouins." Huneker's keen observations, combined with his ability to juxtapose beauty and brutality, provide a profound insight into the timeless wilderness of the desert and its inhabitants. For readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of a vanishing way of life, "Bedouins" is an essential read. Huneker'Äôs eloquent prose and rich, descriptive storytelling invite reflection on broader themes of identity and cultural preservation, making this work both a literary treasure and an enduring tribute to the resilient spirit of the Bedouin people.

    Miles Weston, the Marquess of Hawksridge, longs for a holiday from his life. He is tired of all the politics in and out of the ballrooms. Ever since his aborted wedding, his aunt has tried to match him with blank-faced debutants at every turn. The only entertaining thing in his overscheduled life is observing the antics of Lady Susanna Ashby, whose beauty and vibrancy brighten the greyest day. 
     
     
     
    Susanna's spirit for adventure is matched only by her loyalty to her friends. Determined to help the distractingly handsome, but overwhelmingly serious, marquess, Susanna concocts a plan to distract his matchmaking Aunt Diana. She'll reunite Diana with her long-lost lover who wrote her passionate letters of love and longing. If only Susanna could discover the whereabouts of the mysterious James Marlow. 
     
     
     
    As Susanna launches her ill-fated plan, heedless of the danger, her worried friends send Miles to fetch her home. But Susanna has no intention of letting anything derail her quest to find the man from the letters. Not bad weather, broken carriage wheels, or highwaymen. Not even a sexy, managing marquess.

    On a small island in a remote corner of northwest Scotland lies Maundrell castle, owned by its wealthy namesake family for centuries—until now. Edwina Nunn is shocked to learn a relative she never heard of has bequeathed the castle and its land to her. What awaits Edie and her teenage daughter, Neve, is even more startling, for the castle is home to a multitude of ghosts. 
     
     
     
    Yet there's a strange beauty in the austere architecture and the eerie, bloody waters of Loch na Scáthanna, the Lake of Shadows.

    Is the gem really cursed, and the cause of the family tragedies that have all occurred on Samhain—Scottish Halloween? As Samhain approaches once more, Edie and Neve race to peel back the dark secrets entwining the living and the dead—a twisted story of bitter cruelty and hidden love—or they will become another Maundrell tragedy trapped in the lonely hours . . .
