The Eternal Priestess is a novel set in China during the early 20th century. It tells the story of a young woman named Hsia, who is chosen to become a priestess in a temple dedicated to the goddess Kuan Yin. As a priestess, Hsia is expected to maintain strict adherence to the customs and traditions of her order, including celibacy and a life of service to the temple. However, when a young man named Yen enters her life, Hsia finds herself torn between her duty to the temple and her growing feelings for Yen. As Hsia navigates the complexities of love and duty, she must also contend with political upheaval and the threat of war in China. Written by Bertram Lenox Putnam Weale and first published in 1914, The Eternal Priestess offers a vivid portrayal of life in China during a time of great change and uncertainty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
