"The Romance of Isabel Lady Burton: The Story of Her Life, Volume II" by W. H. Wilkins is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the fascinating narrative of Isabel Burton, exploring her experiences in the Middle East during her time as the wife of the British Consul, Richard Burton. Isabel shares her personal insights into both daily life and the rich cultural context of the era, focusing on her adventures in Damascus, Palmyra, and the surrounding regions. The opening portion of this volume details Isabel's early days in Damascus, where she finds a suitable home and begins to adjust to her new life. She describes the beauty of their house in SalahÃyyeh, surrounded by gardens and mountains, and details her passion for animals as she curates her own menagerie. Isabel's narrative is filled with observations about the city, its culture, and the customs of the people she encounters, including her experiences with the local bazars, mosque, and the unique social dynamics between different religious groups. Through her vibrant prose and keen observations, the reader is introduced to the challenges and charms of her life in the East, setting the stage for her further adventures and explorations.
