The story delves into upper-class Italian society, highlighting the complexities of family relationships, social expectations, and personal desires. The narrative orbits primarily around Elisa Valenti, a sensitive young woman grappling with sorrow and the pressures of an arranged marriage, set against the backdrop of a well-appointed villa and the lives of its inhabitants. The opening of the novel establishes a vivid portrait of the villa Arombelli during a significant family gathering, introducing a cast of characters whose intersecting lives hint at both hidden tensions and unspoken dramas. Elisa Valenti emerges as a poignant figure: reserved and troubled by a deep, private grief, she is contrasted with the lively chatter and elegance of the other guests. As the narrative progresses, Elisa’s backstory unfolds, depicting a life marked by social ascent and decline, familial duty, and intimacy with her childhood friend Giulio Bardi, whose reappearance stirs old affections and new dilemmas. The beginning of the novel carefully lays the foundation for themes of love, sacrifice, and the constraints of tradition that are likely to shape the rest of the story.
