"The Shadow of the East" by E. M. Hull is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily in the exotic backdrop of Japan, following Jermyn Atherton, an American millionaire, and his interactions with his English friend Barry Craven, who has a complex relationship with a Japanese girl named O Hara San. The narrative explores themes of love, cultural clash, and the repercussions of choices made in the pursuit of happiness. The opening of the novel introduces a glamorous scene set on a yacht off the coast of Yokohama, where Atherton is joined by Craven and his brother Leslie. They engage in witty banter, revealing Craven’s deep connection to Japan and its culture, while also providing insights into Atherton's troubled marriage and his longing to reconnect with his wife. As the story progresses, tensions surrounding love and identity emerge, especially in the interactions between Craven and O Hara San, highlighting both the allure and complexities of their relationship. Craven's internal conflict becomes more pronounced as he grapples with his feelings for O Hara and the implications of their cultural differences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
