The Contessa's Vendetta by Mirella Sichirollo PatzerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Note: I won this book from LibraryThing member giveaways.
As a deadly plague is ravishing the streets of seventeenth-century Vicenza Italy Contessa Mancini is struggling to keep her family and servants safe from danger. Despite her struggles, she is the one the ends up contracting the deadly disease and as her body is thrown into the coffin she awakens from death. Trying to return to her original life the Contessa learns her life had been filled with deceit and lies far more significant than she could ever imagine.
I liked the author’s detailed descriptions of the settings, especially considering this was a historical novel. Contrary, the personal reflections of the Contessa dragged on. Carlotta Mancini was a charismatic and diverse character bringing the story to life around her and succeeded as a woman in her time. She is strong and is able to overcome the many perils and discoveries she makes about her family along the way.
