The Story of a Seamstress #971471

The young seamstress Giselda is poor and naive; she lives in a squalid district of Florence with a drunken father and a blind mother. But she is beautiful! And it is precisely her extraordinary beauty—like a flower emerging from the mud—that will drag her into a whirlwind of dramatic events, drawing sinful desires and leading to the darkest of tragedies. The Arno, that majestic river that usually flows placidly through Florence, can transform into a murky torrent, holding within its muddy waters the most unspeakable secrets. A short novel in which, once again, Carolina Invernizio masterfully captivates the reader from the very first page, keeping them enthralled until the stunning conclusion.
