The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged until the very end.Overall, Sant' Ilario is a classic novel of love and intrigue that is sure to captivate readers who enjoy historical fiction and romance.The idea of a sudden journey, terminating in the gloomy fortress of Saracinesca, was pleasant to his humour. The old place was ten times more grim and dismal in winter than in summer, and in his savage mood he fancied himself alone with his wife in the silent halls, making her feel the enormity of what she had done, while jealously keeping her a prisoner at his mercy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
