Identify the novel from the first line -- another contest!?

What novel started "Not to every young girl is it given to enter the harem of the Sultan of Turkey and return to her homeland a virgin"?

Hint: The homeland was England, near the Scottish border.

Update:

Looks like I should have said "Without googling", eh?

Seems we need a tiebreak -- OK: What castle is referred to in the title?
