"Francesca" is the second book in Bertrice Small's "The Silk Merchant's Daughters" series. The story follows Francesca d’Angelos, the second oldest daughter of Giovanni Pietro d’Angelos, a wealthy and respected silk merchant in Renaissance Florence. Unlike her older sister Bianca, Francesca is a strong-willed and independent beauty who resists marriage, driving away potential suitors.
The Duke of Terreno Boscoso introduces his heir, Rafaello, to several eligible brides, including Francesca. Although Francesca initially refuses to consider Rafaello as a match, her parents agree to the marriage without her consent. Feeling betrayed and furious, Francesca escapes into the woods and takes refuge in an inn where she works as a servant. During this time, she meets an unexpected suitor who captures her heart. Despite this budding romance, her future remains uncertain as she is still promised to Rafaello.
The novel explores themes of love, independence, and the struggle for choice in a world where family and social expectations dominate women's lives, all set within the vibrant atmosphere of Renaissance Florence.
