"The Venetians" by M. E. Braddon is a sensation novel published in 1893. The story follows John Vansittart, an English gentleman who flees Venice after killing a man in a violent altercation during Carnival. Three years later, now safely back in England, he falls in love with Eve Marchant—only to discover a devastating connection between her and his dark secret. As guilt, deception, and forbidden love intertwine across England and Italy, John must face the consequences of that fatal night. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
