| Summary | "A Lady's Tour in Corsica, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Gertrude Forde is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This account follows three adventurous Englishwomen as they embark on an exploration of Corsica. The author aims to unveil the charm of Corsica, countering prevalent misconceptions about the island’s perils and inhabitants. The opening of the book sets the stage for the journey, presenting the initial challenges faced by the women as they prepare to travel to Corsica. It highlights their departure from Leghorn amidst treacherous weather conditions and their determination to overcome fears fueled by friends’ warnings about the potential dangers of the island.
