"The Arab's Pledge: A Tale of Marocco in 1830" by Edward Ledwich Mitford is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the plight of Jews in Morocco, focusing on their oppression under Moorish rule during the early 19th century, using a narrative steeped in local customs and tragic realities. Central to the unfolding story are the characters Hassan, a disillusioned Moorish soldier, and Azora, a beautiful Jewish girl caught in a web of conspiracy and desire. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Morocco’s precarious social fabric, where Jews live in severe subjugation to their Moorish overlords. It vividly depicts the challenges faced by the Jewish community, highlighted through the dark thoughts of Hassan and his interaction with the treacherous Abdslem, who proposes a vile plan involving Azora. As the plot unfolds, Hassan’s unfurling emotions toward Azora lead to a dangerous turn of events that threatens her safety. The narrative lays a foundation for a tale rich in cultural detail and deep moral conflict, setting the stage for the ensuing drama that intertwines love, betrayal, and the struggle against tyranny.

Reading ease score: 75.0 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
