The novelist G. K. Chesterton remarked of this 1900 novel, ‘Though it is impossible not to smile at Ouida, it is equally impossible not to read her.’ The river Edera runs through bucolic farmland outside of Rome. When a plan arises to dam the river for a hydroelectric plant, the local farmers and peasants violently resist.
Sobre el autor
Ouida (1839-1908), born Maria Louise Ramé, was a prolific English writer of novels for adults and children.

After a life as extravagant as her fiction, she died in poverty in Italy.
