‘The style is so easy and natural ... The story is well told from beginning to end.’ —Press.
‘A genuine Italian tale—a true picture of the Tuscan peasant population, with all their virtues, faults, weaknesses, follies, and even vices ... The best Italian tale that has been published since the appearance of the ‘Promessi Sposi’ of Manzoni ... The ‘Broken Troth’ is one of those that cannot be read but with pleasure.’ —London Review.
