Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against a backdrop of personal transformation, the story follows Kitty Garstin, a beautiful yet shallow woman trapped in an unhappy marriage to the honorable Walter Fane. Her decision to marry him stems from societal pressures rather than love. As the narrative unfolds, themes of transgression and redemption emerge, exploring the complexities of love and the potential for personal growth. The novel, inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry, intricately examines the journey of self-discovery and the capacity to embrace change.
