Summary | "The Corsican Lovers" by Charles Felton Pidgin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the passionate and tumultuous lives of the Batistelli family, particularly focusing on Vivienne, a young woman grappling with the demands of a loveless marriage arranged by her brother Pascal, as she yearns for autonomy and true love amidst the shadow of her father’s vengeful legacy. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Vivienne Batistelli, who fiercely opposes her brother Pascal's insistence that she marry Count Mont d'Oro's son, Napier. Vivienne is haunted by the memory of her father’s murder, and as she asserts her refusal to enter into a loveless union meant to appease family honor, her determination becomes palpable. The conflict escalates as Pascal reveals that their father's dying wish was for Vivienne to marry Napier, invoking a familial vendetta that looms over their lives. This opening sets the stage for not only personal dilemmas of love and duty but also a broader commentary on the intricacies of honor, revenge, and the expectations placed on women within their family and society.
