“A Son of the Sahara” by Louise Gerard is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of colonial Africa, it explores themes of love, power, and cultural clash through the lives of its main characters, Colonel Raoul Le Breton, his young wife Annette, and the enigmatic Sultan Casim Ammeh. The story follows their tumultuous journey in a harsh desert landscape filled with intrigue and danger. The opening of the novel introduces Colonel Raoul Le Breton, a daring French officer leading an expedition into the Sahara, accompanied by his newlywed wife, Annette. Their journey takes a tragic turn when they encounter Sultan Casim Ammeh, who is drawn to Annette’s beauty. After a fierce conflict, Raoul is murdered, and Annette is taken captive by the Sultan. The narrative sets up a powerful tale of Annette's struggle for freedom and her efforts to conceal the true parentage of her son, all while navigating the brutal world of the Sahara and its complex social dynamics. The book promises a gripping exploration of love and betrayal in a richly layered historical context. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
