Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Riikka Talonpoika and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Taquisara" by F. Marion Crawford is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Donna Veronica Serra, a young heiress caught in a web of familial expectations and societal pressures, specifically regarding her potential marriage to Bosio Macomer and the implications of her wealth on her relationships. At the start of the narrative, Veronica is seen signing her will, pressured by her aunt, Countess Macomer. The tension of the moment reveals her complicated feelings toward her guardians, especially as they seem more preoccupied with her fortune than her happiness. We are introduced to a variety of characters, including her stoic uncle Gregorio and the reserved but kind Bosio, as well as her friend Gianluca della Spina, whose unrequited love for her adds an element of tension and intrigue. The family dynamics and the looming threat of financial ruin for the Macomers create an atmosphere thick with desperation, ultimately setting the stage for the conflicts and decisions that will unfold throughout the novel.
