In 17th-century Rome, Clarissa Whetenham, an English aristocrat disguised as a boy, arrives in the city and becomes involved in the lives of two architects: Lorenzo Bernini, a brilliant and worldly man, and Francesco Borromini, a tormented genius. Clarissa, nicknamed La Principessa, will be attracted to both, but it will be Borromini who awakens in her an admiration that will lead her to endanger her own life to help him realize his creations.
This historical novel by Peter Prange immerses the reader in the fascinating Baroque Rome, exploring the genesis of some of the most important architectural works of the time through the complex relationship between Clarissa, Bernini and Borromini.
