Taquisara is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford, first published in 1904. The story is set in Italy and follows the life of Taquisara, a young nobleman who is torn between his loyalty to his family and his love for a woman from a rival family. As he navigates the complex political and social landscape of his time, Taquisara must also confront his own inner demons and come to terms with his identity as a man and a member of his community. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a scheming priest, a mysterious stranger, and a passionate artist, each of whom contributes to his journey of self-discovery. With its vivid descriptions of Italian life and its exploration of timeless themes such as love, honor, and identity, Taquisara is a compelling and thought-provoking read for fans of historical fiction and literary classics.Veronica left Bianca Corleone's house with a very painful sense of disappointment, and as she drove homeward through the wet streets, she could not get rid of Gianluca's tearful blue eyes, which seemed to follow her into the carriage; and in the rattling and jolting, she heard again and again that one weak sob which had so disturbed her. At that moment she would rather have gone directly back to the convent in Rome, to stay there for the rest of her life, than have married such an unmanly man as she believed him to be. His words had left her cold, his face had frozen her, his tears had disgusted her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
