"The Palace of Darkened Windows" by Mary Hastings Bradley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the exotic backdrop of Cairo, where the main character, Arlee Beecher, a young American girl, finds herself entangled in the complexities of cultural differences and societal expectations. As she navigates her surroundings, she interacts with various characters, including a captain of Turkish descent and other travelers, which hints at a narrative ripe with romance and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces us to Arlee, who is attending a social gathering at a hotel in Cairo. She quickly finds herself at the center of attention due to her striking beauty and charming demeanor. However, tensions arise as she engages in conversations with a young Englishman, who is visibly disapproving of her interactions with a local officer. The plot thickens with the introduction of the captain, who offers her a glimpse into the foreign culture and set of rules she is gradually discovering. As Arlee's attraction to the captain grows, so do the complications, setting the stage for a story that promises romance, conflict, and exploration of cross-cultural dynamics.
