The Call of the Blood

The honeymoon period is brief for newlyweds Hermione and Maurice when the new bride is called to the bedside of a dying friend, leaving her young, handsome husband home alone. Meanwhile, Maurice meets Maddalena, a peasant girl he cannot resist. In all of his hot-blooded passion, he has not predicted the dramatic reaction of Maddalena's family. Imagine the scene when the older, intellectual Hermione returns.
