The story unfolds against the backdrop of post-Napoleonic France, focusing on the themes of family loyalty, vengeance, and the intersecting lives of its characters. The central figure is Ginevra di Piombo, a young woman navigating the complicated emotional landscape of love and familial obligations, particularly as it relates to her father's vendetta against the Porta family. The opening portion of the novel introduces Bartolomeo di Piombo and his family, who are refugees from Corsica, having fled to Paris after personal tragedy struck. As Bartolomeo confronts his past and the network of revenge tied to his family's history, he strives to find a place for his family in a new society. Ginevra, his daughter, becomes entangled with Luigi Porta, the son of his family's enemies, complicating the narrative of vendetta and love. As Ginevra's affections for Luigi blossom, she faces a tumultuous struggle between her loyalty to her parents and her desire for happiness, setting the stage for both a romantic and tragic exploration of familial ties and the legacy of vengeance.
