    About this ebook

    The Crescent Moon by Francis Brett Young is about a narrator who falls in love with a young woman at a train station full of missionaries in Taborah. Excerpt: "Good Lord, I thought, this is an extraordinary girl who can't or won't raise the flicker of an eyelid when she's being swamped with condolences about a brother to whom something horrible has happened. And then the busy woman swept her away, and all the length of the platform I watched her beautiful, pale, serious face."
