More DescriptionE M Hull was a 20th century British novelist best known for being the author of the romantic novel The Sheik which became an international best seller in 1921. The Sheik started the popular desert romance genre. The Shadow of the East is a romance written in 1921. The story begins "The American yacht lying off the harbour at Yokohama was brilliantly lit from stem to stern. Between it and the shore the reflection of the full moon glittered on the water up to the steps of the big black landing-stage.
