This novel tells the story of three generations of the Ucria family, seen through the eyes of the young Duchess Marianna. Married at 13 to her own uncle, set apart from others by her disability, she searches for fulfilment in a society in which women face either marriage and endless childbearing or a life within the walls of a convent.
