| Summary | "Caravans By Night: A Romance of India" by Harry Hervey is a novel written in the early 20th century. It is set against a vibrant backdrop of India, exploring themes of intrigue, commerce, and the complexities of colonial life through the lens of its characters. The story unfolds primarily through the experiences of Muhafiz Ali, a merchant who finds himself intertwined in a web of ambition and deception involving a mysterious sahib and the political machinations of the Raj. The opening of the novel introduces Muhafiz Ali, an amiable merchant in Indore, who encounters a man with corn-colored hair and a striking demeanor, leading to an unexpected commission for a copy of a royal Pearl Scarf. This interaction sets off a chain of events laden with suspicion, as Ali grapples with his hatred for a rival merchant while feeling the weight of recent family tragedies. The narrative builds tension as Ali becomes embroiled in potential danger, especially upon realizing that the original Pearl Scarf has been stolen. The blend of local culture, personal conflict, and impending intrigue sets the stage for a thrilling tale of romance and adventure in a land steeped in mystery.
