Ayala's Angel by Anthony Trollope

A high-spirited young woman brought up between Italy and England becomes the center of competing attentions and misjudgments: attracted to a dashing, impulsive foreign suitor but pursued more soberly by a reliable English gentleman, she navigates passion, pride, and social expectation, makes painful mistakes, and slowly learns prudence and self-knowledge; the story follows her emotional growth and the moral consequences of romantic idealism against a backdrop of contrasting national manners and family loyalties.
