The main heroine of the novel by the famous Italian writer Bianca Pitzorno is a girl from a very poor family, born in a small town on the island of Sardinia in the late 19th century. She herself learned to read, loves ladies' love novels and operas of Puccini, but even if deep down she dreams of a beautiful prince, in real life she relies only on her mind and skillful hands. Through the eyes of the young tailor, entering the rich houses, we see the amazing stories of the inhabitants of her town. There are love dramas, broken hearts, and even murder (and maybe suicide?) She was followed by many gentlemen, but she easily restrained their ardor, always politely and without insulting a couple of humorous phrases making it clear that they should stay away. This was another reason for me to admire her .. Men in those days seemed ridiculous to me, especially when they tried to care for girls: their meaningless sweet phrases and some actions were suitable only for opera librettos. The book resembles the classic novels that the main character loves to read, and at the same time it raises very modern topics of women's independence, faith in their own strength, freedom and finding their own way. In addition, the Miss had an expensive camera, as well as a bicycle for trips around the neighborhood ... No local woman, regardless of her nobility and wealth, would dare to ride a bicycle and sit down: even Signorina Esther, who had dreamed of cycling since childhood, her father would never have allowed this to happen. For whom . For all those who love Italy, historical novels and family sagas, old and touching stories about women who achieve everything with their mind and work, but still remain feminine and romantic. For all who read children's stories Bianca Pitzorno and is ready to get acquainted with her work for adults "Listen," said Miss Very Seriously . You’re young and you might fall in love. But never, remember, never let a man disrespect you, prevent you from doing what seems right and necessary, what you like. Your life is yours, remember that. You don't owe anyone anything but yourself.
