About this book

In the late 19th century, societal norms dictated the lives of individuals, particularly women, who navigated the intricate dance of family duty and personal desire. "Taquisara" by F. Marion Crawford intricately explores these themes through the life of Donna Veronica Serra, a young heiress faced with the weight of familial expectations and the looming specter of marriage to Bosio Macomer. This compelling narrative delves into the tension between personal ambition and societal obligation, highlighting the sacrifices made in pursuit of love and autonomy. Ideal for students and historians alike, this novel offers a rich tapestry of character and conflict, prompting readers to reflect on the enduring struggles for agency and identity within the constraints of tradition.
