Synopsis

A lush, character-driven tale of love, faith, and family drama spanning Florence and England.

Set in an old Florentine palace, this novel centers on the complex world of the Ubinaldi family. The elderly prince’s strict guardianship clashes with his granddaughter’s growing independence, while a bridge to English life promises change and challenge. The story follows Helen, a devoted mother, and her daughter Rina as they navigate loyalty, tradition, and the lure of a different culture.

Rina’s hopes for a wider life are tested by family expectations and religious duty. When a plan for an England visit surfaces, the risks and rewards of pursuing love—against a backdrop of faith and society—begin to unfold. The book mixes intimate family moments with larger questions about modern life, culture, and belief, all set against a vivid, atmospheric backdrop.
  • Explore a noble Italian household and its quietly shifting dynamics
  • Meet a young woman balancing duty, desire, and faith
  • See tensions between tradition and modern ideas play out in family decisions
  • Experience cross-cultural perspectives as England enters the narrative
Ideal for readers drawn to classic, faith-centered storytelling and historical domestic drama.
