Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Monte-Cristo's Daughter" by Edmund Flagg is a sequel to Alexandre Dumas' classic "The Count of Monte-Cristo," and it is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Zuleika, the daughter of the iconic Count of Monte-Cristo, as she navigates her own tumultuous romantic life. The plot intricately weaves themes of love, mistaken identity, and adventure, positioning Zuleika and her suitor, Viscount Giovanni Massetti, at the heart of unfolding complications that include abduction and societal expectations. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in Rome, where the Count of Monte-Cristo resides with his family while ensuring Zuleika's education at a convent school. Here, Zuleika attracts the attention of Massetti, leading to a passionate albeit clandestine romance filled with youthful fervor and forbidden encounters. As tension arises from their secretive meetings and the looming presence of societal pressures, the stage is established for their love story, intertwined with other characters such as the enigmatic prima donna Louise d'Armilly and the dangerous allure of adventure in a city rich with history and intrigue.
