Destiny, Volume 2, by Susan Edmonstone Ferrier (1782 - 1854)
Susan Edmonstone Ferrier's final novel comes to us in two volumes. Most of the book is placed in the Scottish Highland with rich geographical descriptions. It follows romantic ties, traditional and flirtatious,along with jealousies, resolutions and the potential dissolution of those ties. In a few words, human nature of the finest in Scotland of the 1800's. (Summary by Christine Rottger)

Hello! Here is section 1 (22:24). Oh Edith, Florinda got exactly what she wanted AND made it seem like your idea.

Edit: I did my best with the French and Italian sections. Hoping they are at least somewhat passable :)
