| Summary | "Desert Love" by Joan Conquest is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jill Carden, a young English woman embarking on a journey of self-discovery and adventure in the exotic setting of Egypt. With a background of privilege now stripped away, Jill is determined to seek a life filled with genuine love and experiences beyond the monotony of her previous existence. At the start of the book, Jill finds herself at a transit station in Ismailiah, Egypt, observing the vibrant mix of women in traditional dress and British soldiers preparing for their journey. Feeling bewildered and disconnected from her recent past, she reflects on her unorthodox upbringing and the loss of her father's wealth. As Jill's thoughts turn to her aspirations for love and adventure, she becomes intrigued by Hahmed, the Camel King, a formidable figure whose presence captivates her. Despite societal expectations, Jill chooses to break free from the constraints of her previous life, setting the stage for a thrilling and transformative romantic journey across the desert.
