The Wheat Princess

Marcia Copley, an American Heiress, comes to Rome. Typically for the period, she may want to attract an aristocrat. He brings the title, she brings the money to support it. Her adventures in Rome are different than she anticipated. Rich and poor live side by side, and the author does her best to describe both walks of life vividly and truthfully. Jean Webster is the author of Daddy Long Legs and Dear Enemy. This particular novel would also please fans of Henry James and George Gissing. - Summary by Stav Nisser. (9 hr 17 min)

Love & Politics

(5 stars)

Kristin P.

This story is basically a romance, set amid the civil unrest in the years after the unification of Italy. The political themes are timeless and surprisingly relevant even today. The love story is a little trite, but the heroine does have a nice “coming of age” arc. Overall enjoyable to listen to and skillfully read by Ms. Major.

great read!

I very much enjoyed this story. I loved hearing about the Italian countryside and a bit of their history.
