"A Lady's Tour in Corsica, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Gertrude Forde is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of Corsica, showcasing its landscapes and local culture through the eyes of a female traveler. The book likely presents a mix of personal anecdotes, vivid descriptions of natural settings, and interactions with the local Corsicans, offering an authentic glimpse into the region's charm and character. The opening portion sets the tone for the journey as the author recounts the trip to Bavella, describing the quaint village of Sainte Lucie di Tallano and its unique landscape, filled with descriptions of the local flora and fauna and the region's architectural features like a Pisan bridge. The narrative introduces a young Corsican coachman named Antonio, whose character unfolds from reticent at first to becoming a valuable companion. The writer's observational style paints a rich picture of the Corsican way of life, touching on themes such as the locals' pride and idleness, socio-economic challenges, and the beauty of the region's mountainous scenery. Through her encounters and observations, the book promises to take readers on a contemplative yet adventurous journey through Corsica. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
