The Marchesa

Autor Simonetta Agnello Hornby
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2008
From the award-winning and internationally acclaimed author of "The Almond Picker" comes this sumptuous family saga set in nineteenth-century Sicily. Costanza Safamita is the beloved daughter of the Baron Domenico Safamita: Red-haired, gawky, and shy, she is considered an outsider by many on her family's estate. But when her adoring father makes her the sole heir to the Safamita fortune, she finds herself plunged into the glittering world of Palermo society, and into the arms of a depraved husband. As Costanza endures the travails of her marriage, she must also fight to preserve the family's household and way of life against the tide of revolution and change. Set against the fall of the Bourbon monarchy, and the rise of the mafia, "The Marchesa "is a scintillating family drama, and a masterly fresco of a now vanished world.
