Shell, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Sheik: A Novel" by E. M. Hull is a romantic fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the North African desert and revolves around a headstrong Englishwoman, Diana Mayo, who embarks on an unconventional journey into the desert. With her coming-of-age independence, she defies societal expectations, undertaking the risky venture without a male escort, which raises concerns about her safety and reputation. At the start of the novel, we meet Diana Mayo as she disputes with her brother regarding her solo adventure into the desert. Diana's determination is evident despite warnings from those around her, including lady Conway, who disapproves of her plans. As the tale progresses, the narrative reveals Diana's strong will and background, including her atypical upbringing that has shaped her into a courageous and adventurous woman. The tension mounts as she embarks on her journey, grappling not only with familial opposition but also with the dangers that lie ahead. Soon, her expedition takes a dangerous turn, leading to her capture by the mysterious Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, seamlessly blending elements of adventure and romance as Diana confronts her new reality.
