Summary "The Crescent Moon" by Francis Brett Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the experiences of Eva Burwarton and her brother James as they arrive in East Africa to serve as missionaries. The narrative delves into themes of colonialism, faith, and the clash of cultures, focusing particularly on the psychological and emotional strains faced by the characters in their new environment. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Nairobi station, where the protagonist meets a congregation of missionaries alongside wounded Indian sepoys. Among the gathered crowd, Eva Burwarton stands out for her beauty and mysterious demeanor, contrasting sharply with the emotional intensity of those around her. As her brother joins her in the mission field, it becomes apparent that their journey will not only test their faith but also lead them to encounter the complexities and challenges of their cross-cultural mission, particularly relating to their neighbor, Godovius. The narrative sets the stage for the Burwartons' trials ahead as they navigate the intricate socio-political landscape of Africa while grappling with personal turmoil and unforeseen dangers.
