Book Overview

Hannibal's Daughter is a historical fiction novel written by Andrew Haggard and published in 1898. The story is set in ancient Carthage, and follows the life of a young woman named Salammbo, who is the daughter of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal. Salammbo is a strong and independent woman who is determined to protect her people and her family from the invading Roman army.
