About this product

Product Information

Set in the mid-eighteenth century, Dacia Maraini's unforgettable novel tells the story of three generations of the Ucria family, seen through the watchful eyes of the young Duchess Marianna. Married at thirteen 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 of renunciation within the walls of a convent. As she sees this pattern repeated through three generations of her family, the silent Duchess overcomes cruelty and hardship to taste the freedom of which she has dreamed. The Silent Duchess has been hailed as a modern masterpiece.
