I kept me in suspense, for the many situations in which them Lamartine and Graziella's father and Beppo Graziella's brother have to confront when fishing in the sea, out of Naples. It was something that I imagined that I was with them so it made it more interesting. The only part I did not enjoy reading was at the end of the novel, to me it gets kind of a bore for the much repetitive of the play Graziella with Lamartine.
But anyway, I enjoyed this novel and recommend it to those that have an adventurous way of seen and living a romance. Particularly with the first love in the first years of a young man or woman. Nothing sweeter than a 19th century romance set in Italy. One can smell the environment even after years and be transported effortlessly back to the day the story was conceived. One person found this helpful. I will now look for more of this authors work. Delightful to read, well spent time for any "romantic".
Never fail to let someone know you love them. The opportunity may not be as possible the next time. Two young people in love and one hesitant to express themselves reflects a life of long term regret.

Interesting to note that love then and now is timeless. A little slow, but I came back time after time to finish story. The cover is nice, but that's about it. This inside print has terrible print quality. It almost looks like they a really bad photocopy machine to print the pages Writing on the covers.

The Old Mill Bookshop Published: Color frontispiece, 6 color illustrations. Months pass, and the narrator considers Andrea's family to be as his own. The narrator attempts to treat Graziella as a sister.
He accompanies her to church and teaches her to read and write, and she insists that he spend more time with her, talking and learning to carve coral, than futilely writing poetry. However, he realizes the extent of his affection for her when, days before Christmas, Graziella is arranged to be married to her cousin Cecco: Though Graziella accepts the proposed marriage on the day the narrator returns, she later escapes into the night, intent on joining a convent.

The following day the family search for her in vain. Eventually, the narrator realizes that she must have returned to Procida, and hurries there. In Andrea's home, he finds Graziella, who confesses her love for him, stating "They wished me to take a husband—you are already the husband of my soul".
When Graziella's family comes to get her, they decide that she need not marry Cecco. For three months they enjoy their love, unknown to Graziella's family.
However, she is pained at the thought of the narrator returning to France and by her own social station, much beneath the narrator's own. Although they continue to exchange letters, once in French society the narrator feels ashamed of his love for the poor fisherman's granddaughter.
He only realizes his folly after learning of Graziella's death at age sixteen. Graziella was written by Alphonse de Lamartine , a French poet and novelist. During his time in Naples, Lamartine stayed with Darest de la Chavanne, who owned a cigar factory. There, he met a young woman from Procida, a tobacco-leaf folder with whom he began a relationship, [4] [5] [6] and with whom he may have been intimate. The young woman died after Lamartine's return to France; the writer Agide Pirazzini suggests that he truly loved her only after her death, and that thenceforth her image never left him.
Touched by the story, when Pelletan returned to Paris he recommended that a French company publish the recollections, which he was certain would find popularity. The publisher agreed, and although the financially troubled author at first refused, when faced with selling his family home Lamartine agreed to publish. The author depicted as working in coral, hoping to "avoid the degrading association which an open avowal of her employment [as a tobacco-leaf folder] would suggest".

Graziella's story in Les Confidences , which consisted of half its length, [14] was collected and published in a separate edition beginning in McClurg and Company under the title Graziella: A Story of Italian Love. This version included 30 illustrations. In , a writer in the Westminster Review described the change from tobacco-leaf folder to coral carver as the "sole deviation from fact" in Graziella. The beauty of Southern Italy was often shown in Lamartine's works, such as in Graziella. She suggests that the texts both resolve around tensions of island paradises and societal hell as well as a "professed pure, brotherly love", ending with the death of a character.
She notes describes Paul et Virginie as appearing en abyme within Lamartine's novel, as it is Saint-Pierre's romance which "awakens Graziella's passion". Graziella quickly became part of French popular culture. The novel states that her father, Marx, took "his cue from one of Lamartine's most poetic stories" [a] in naming her.
