The story itself revolves around a Capulet-Montague-style family feud and a love story between Lorenzo de' Medici and Ginevra Pazzi. The characters are well described and lovable, the scenes are vivid, the ending is heartbreaking, Alexandra Ripley can write romance in a way it never becomes syrupy. If you've enjoyed her other books, you will love this one too. It has everything that made Romeo and Juliet famous, in some ways it is even better because we get to know the characters better.
