| Summary | "Pietro Ghisleri" by F. Marion Crawford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around complex relationships between two step-sisters, Laura Carlyon and Adele Braccio, in the context of a Roman high-society backdrop, exploring themes of love, jealousy, and social dynamics. The narrative delves into the intricacies of their family life, including the interests of their parents and the young men in their circle, particularly focusing on the attention that each step-sister garners in society. The opening of the novel introduces the family dynamics between the step-sisters and their parents, particularly the Honourable Mrs. Carlyon and Prince Gerano. Laura, who is described as beautiful yet without a dowry, and Adele, an heiress who is lively and somewhat vain, grow up with contrasting personalities and ambitions. As their stories unfold, romantic tensions arise, especially regarding Don Francesco Savelli, who is intended for Adele but finds himself attracted to Laura instead. This leads to jealousy and rivalry, setting the stage for deeper conflicts and emotional developments further along in the story. In this initial chapter, readers sense the societal pressures and personal struggles that will define the relationships at play. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
