The Trail of Conflict is another book I read in Sicily. Written by Emilie Baker Loring in 1922 this story is about a couple who marry for convenience. One has money and the other has a good name. The couple's creepy fathers make this arrangement and somehow expect it is going to work. The story is predictable. Time after time something is said that one person misunderstands and takes offence but never bothers to clarify what was meant and suddenly circumstances clear up the misunderstanding and all is well again. After the fifth time a misunderstanding is cleared up I got tired of the pattern. I did enjoy the descriptions of the food, clothing, and scenery though.
