Taquisara is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford. The story is set in Italy and revolves around the life of Prince Pietro Barbamonte, also known as Taquisara. The book begins with Taquisara's childhood and follows his life through adulthood. Taquisara is a passionate and ambitious man who becomes involved in politics and falls in love with a beautiful woman named Corona d'Antichiera. However, their love is complicated by political rivalries and family feuds. Taquisara's loyalty to his family and his country is tested as he navigates the complex political landscape of Italy. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and ambition, and provides a vivid portrayal of Italian culture and politics in the late 19th century.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.
