Books like The Garden of Allah by Robert Hichens
Robert Hichens’ 1914 novel tells the tale of Domini Enfilden, whose exhaustion after a grueling sea voyage and the rush to catch a train to Beni-Mora set the stage for a love‑filled escape across North Africa’s dunes and colonial hotels. The story unfolds in the quiet Hotel de la Mer at Robertville, where French officers and travelers mingle, cafés close, and the looming hill of Addouna watches over the all‑night scenes. Through lush descriptions of desert landscape, colonial society, and the inner yearnings of its characters, Hichens explores themes of romance, travel, and the tensions between duty and desire.
