The story follows a spirited seven-year-old girl named Pappina Pierno, who lives in the impoverished San Lucia district of Naples. The narrative explores her adventures and dreams of beauty and freedom as she navigates a world filled with poverty, family responsibilities, and the magnetic allure of the unknown. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Pappina, who stands out among the other children in her neighborhood with her love for cleanliness and beauty. Despite her family's struggles, she finds joy in singing and dancing, captivating the attention of those around her. When her brothers depart on their daily adventures, Pappina resolves to explore the world for herself, embarking on a journey that ultimately leads her to encounter Guiseppe, a puppeteer who wishes to use her talent for his gain. The opening portion establishes Pappina's innocence and ambitions while foreshadowing the trials she will face as she seeks both adventure and security in an uncertain environment.
