Julia and Emilia Mazzini live secluded in an ancient mansion near the Straits of Messina.

"Augh to live in simpler times, when completely absurd coincidences and love ripped apart by a mean father meant crazy adventures and an ultimately happy ending for the "good" people and death for the bad. I really did enjoy this book. It was a lot easier to get into than the other Radcliffe I read, and shorter. But it's funny how 90% of the "problems" in this book could have been solved with a cell phone ;) I love the classic romances though. It was fun."
