SummaryNapoleon has fallen leaving the Austrian Empire to storm
the continent, crushing all revolutionary movements in its
path. It is a time of revolts and repression, dashing
revolutionaries, traitors, and spies, when fragmented
Italy
was swept into one of the most turbulent periods in
European History.
Angelo Bartolini is a noble and stalwart Italian patriot
and member of the Carbonari, a secret society revolting
against the Austrian Empire's ruthless repression of
Italy. But Angelo is also the catalyst that brings about
the awakening of a shy, English woman, Beatrice
Fairweather, a brilliant painter, burdened by the
restraints and attitudes women artists faced during the
early nineteenth century.
The story of two people who fall in love at the wrong
time, THE ITALIAN is a haunting tale of families and war, of missed opportunities, betrayal, tragedy, and a love that
knows no end. Genre: Historical Romance, Medieval
