In Montefiano, a hill town of the Sabine Hills above the Roman Campagna, a grim palace looks down on the township it has long ruled. Bagot follows the princely family within, their dismissed agent, their household quarrels and the young Bianca, in a story of aristocratic Italian life and its private loyalties.
Bagot lived in Italy for years, and his novels of Italian aristocratic life are full of observed detail. Download the free EPUB.
