Vendetta is a story of a man who has seen it all. A man who died and came back to life only to find lovers turned to traitors. A man who would give all rich man's gold for justice in return. This book is a great example of how wealth destroys people, how pride destroys one's soul. And finally, how v

What a great story. Wouldn't recommend this book to anyone going through marital problems but would recommend it to anyone else. Fabio and Nina are a young couple with a daughter living in Italy in the 1860s. Fabio gets cholera and dies...or at least they thought so. He is placed in the family above
