This 1876 novel is set in the fictional Italian city of Floralia—a transparent stand-in for Florence. Ouida was a sometime resident of the city, and her knowledge of that peculiar Italy (home to English expatriates) gives her potboiler plot a distinct authenticity—and a storyline which features the beautiful but emotionally austere heroine Lady Hilda.
