Description
The Prince Orsini has a lineage 800 years old. Unfortunately he no longer has the ancestral acres to support his dignity. They are all in the hands of a local farmer Don Luigi Spada, a self-made upstart who has gradually acquired all the princely mortgages. The Prince and his daughter occupy a dilapidated palace in the foothills of the Alps and she does what little she can to make up to him for all that he has lost. It seems only Ginevra can save the her father's crumbling fortune but will the price be too high?
Meanwhile Italy in 1858 is in a ferment; the talk is all of driving out the Austrians and uniting the country. The name of Garibaldi is on everyone's lips, and nowhere more so than on the handsome lips of Renzo, the illegitimate son of Don Luigi and Ginevra's childhood friend. History intervenes, Garibaldi intervenes, and Ginevra will go through the two most tempestuous years of Italy's history - and her life - before the country can be united and Ginevra's and her father's destiny secured.
