A haunting and allegorical novel explores the woman's journey with writing and power, from the 16th century to the present day. It is a testament to the strength of women, their rejection of evil, their unwavering defense, and their dedication to their ideals, even at the cost of their lives. The author reconstructs the powerful figures of real women from historical sources.
Ursula, a sandal seller, was condemned by the Inquisition tribunal to banishment and flogging. Sister Agueda was arrested as a quietist. Francisca was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to damnatio memoriae. Garronfola, a lodging provider for the Spanish fleet stationed in Messina, was whipped and stripped of her belongings. Gertrude, a Tertiarian, was condemned to the stake as a Molinosist. These Sicilian heretics are unearthed from the infernal abyss by the contemporary Alda, a failed Sicilian-Milanese autistic writer, who gives them a voice in a contaminated language, drawing from Sicilian, Spanish, and Latin.
Meanwhile, Sofonisba, a painter, has managed to shape her fabulous life to her liking. And there is Peppa, the cannoneer, a Risorgimento heroine who fell victim to her trust in the illusory political and social change of those years. Mariannina, the poet, also sought the Light within lodges and societies inspired by magnetism.
These women's stories, rooted in historical records, are woven into a powerful narrative that explores the woman's struggle with writing and power, across the centuries. The novel stands as a testament to the resilience, resistance, and unwavering dedication of these remarkable figures, who faced adversity and persecution, yet never wavered in their pursuit of their ideals, even at the ultimate cost.
