«La simulación de María» is the historical novel by Fulvio Tomizza, published by Planeta in paperback (178 pages, in Spanish).
Set in mid-seventeenth-century Venice, the novel follows a young woman whose deep faith makes her suspect to the Inquisition. It begins in 1662, when, through a crack, the girl observes a priest and a foreign woman; Tomizza develops a drama about religious sincerity, suspicion and ecclesiastical power.
Published in 1982, it is a translation from the Italian by Mina Pedrós; the work was originally published as «La finzione di Maria» and belongs to Planeta's Narrativa Collection, number 61.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and literary fiction set in seventeenth-century Europe.
