The sun crept stealthily across the hills and held something of augur and inquiry as it slid in pale yellow streaks over the tall trees that shut in the Castle of St Angioli - shut it in, at least in the summer, by the aid of a thousand intertwinings of leafy boughs; but in winter it could be seen clearly from between the gaunt trunks of the unclad trees that stood around like trusty chamberlains; and while at a distance it seemed crowded by trees, pressed in by the forest of pine-tops, yet when one reached its gates one could see that great lawns and terraces kept distance between the house and the encroachments of the forest behind.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the heart of Rome, where a tale of faith, family, and power unfolds amidst the grandeur of Italian aristocracy. The Sant'Angioli family, bound by a centuries-old tradition that dictates the religious upbringing of their heirs, finds itself at a crossroads when the current heir, Orazio, marries a Protestant woman named Giselda. The author delves into the complexities of religious identity and the clash between tradition and personal conviction. As Giselda navigates the opulent yet stifling world of Sant'Angioli, she encounters the formidable Padre Buonavoglio, a man of unwavering Catholic faith and manipulative intent. The narrative explores themes of ambition, deception, and the lengths individuals will go to protect their beliefs and secure their legacies. Through vivid descriptions of lavish villas, sun-drenched landscapes, and the intricate workings of Roman society, the author creates a captivating atmosphere that immerses readers in the story. The characters grapple with timeless questions of faith, morality, and the enduring influence of the past, making this book a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition and the complexities of belief in a world shaped by tradition.
