The Four Feathers
by Gary Hoppenstand, A.E.W. Mason
This novel really surprised me. A friend had spoken well of it, and it came up for one of my Goodreads groups. I enjoyed the historical element; I always enjoy large sweeping dramatic epics, and there's tons of drama in the Empire's North African campaign. From the intensely dismal foreign prison to urban life in Cairo and London, there's a lot of lush detail. At points you feel like you should try to shake the sand out of your shoes; Mason really evokes the dry, and not in a British way ;)
The most impressive element of the narrative is the role of honor and responsibility in this book. It's so much more than just Harry Feversham trying to find redemption. Harry's actions wind up teaching all close to him of honor. The novel almost winds up with a bow on it, but don't let that dismay you. It's not really a romance.
