Cupid in Africa This ebook was transcribed by Les Bowler "Cupid in Africa" by Percival Christopher Wren is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the character Bertram Greene, a young man caught between his family's military legacy and his own intellectual pursuits, as he navigates the challenges of becoming an officer during the Great War while stationed in India and being assigned to Africa. The novel delves into themes of duty, identity, and the contrast between societal expectations and personal aspirations. The opening of the novel sets the stage by introducing Major Hugh Walsingham Greene, Bertram's father, whose disappointment in his son’s artistic and intellectual inclinations heightens the familial tension. The narrative reveals Major Greene's struggles with respectability and masculinity, contrasting sharply with Bertram's aspirations dominated by scholarly accomplishments rather than military prowess. As Bertram prepares for his upcoming assignment and embraces his role as a soldier, he experiences deep self-doubt about his capabilities and the crude realities of warfare, suggesting a rich exploration of personal growth against a backdrop of conflict.
