The narrative opens in a convent school, introducing a group of young girls and their daily lives under the strict supervision of their teachers. Central to the beginning is the character of Lucia Altimare, whose emotional struggles and intense feelings are set against the backdrop of religious and social pressures, hinting at themes of friendship, individuality, and the quest for identity. The opening portion establishes a vivid scene in the chapel as the girls engage in prayer and reflect on their lives. As the evening unfolds, we see Lucia grappling with her internal conflict, often longing for a deeper understanding of her world, while also attracting the attention of her peers. The sense of camaraderie and competition among the girls is palpable, particularly as they react to their school assignments and the authority of their teachers. As the narrative progresses, Lucia's bond with her friend Caterina is highlighted, setting the stage for future developments and emotional turmoil. This introduction weaves together the intricacies of youth, social expectations, and individual aspirations in a richly descriptive manner.
