The protagonist of this novel by renowned Italian writer Bianca Pizzorno is a girl from a very poor family, born in a small town on the island of Sardinia at the end of the 19th century. She taught herself to read and adores romance novels and Puccini operas, but even though she secretly dreams of a handsome prince, in real life she relies only on her wits and skillful hands.
Through the eyes of a young seamstress with access to the wealthy, we see the amazing stories of the inhabitants of her town. There are love dramas, broken hearts, and even murder (or perhaps suicide?).
