After the jealous tyrant Don Rodrigo foils their wedding, young Lombardian peasants Lucia and Lorenzo must separate and flee for their safety. Their difficult path to matrimony takes place against the turbulent backdrop of the Thirty Years War, where lawlessness and exploitation are at their height. Lucia takes refuge in a convent, where she is later abducted and taken on a nightmarish journey to a sinister castle, while Lorenzo goes to Milan, where he witnesses famine, riots, and plague - all evoked through meticulous description and with stunning immediacy. The Betrothed is a masterful example of historical fiction and remains one of the most famous novels in Italian literature.

Masterpiece

I’ve never encountered characters in classic literature that have so much Christian outlook and supernatural sense. It has been a great pleasure listening to this audiobook in my long drives to the city.

This was not my first reading of this great work of world literature, but in the present rendition it comes alive in a completely new way. The moving and exciting plot as lived out in the wonderful variety of characters of this story becomes almost like a play, as the Nicholas Boulton is able to enter into them, and adapt his tone and even dialect to the person speaking. I find him one of the best performers on Audible yet, and that is after many years of being a member.
I had hoped for a long time that Audible would make this book available, and with this recent publication my hopes were fulfilled, and my expectations greatly exceeded.

Fantastic reading of a great work of literature

First, the plot is wonderful, moving us along through the trials of the two young people. But what makes the novel so memorable are these elements: great characters (including a saintly Capuchin friar), historical passages that are well wrought, and a lively satire that keeps things from becoming sentimental. (The author has a great understanding of human nature and the foibles of a society that seems so 21st c.!) The description of the plague in Milan is moving.

Best 19th C. novel? Incredibly timely in 2022
