The Weavers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434406606)

The Weavers is a historical novel by Gilbert Parker set in Egypt and England during the late 19th century. The story follows David Claridge, a young Quaker from England, who finds himself caught between two worlds-his peaceful upbringing and the political intrigue of Egypt during a time of great unrest. As David becomes involved in both British and Egyptian affairs, he grapples with questions of loyalty, love, and personal duty. Parker's richly detailed writing weaves together themes of colonialism, cross-cultural conflict, and personal transformation.
