«La tía marquesa» is the novel by Simonetta Agnello Hornby, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (420 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Sicily, Costanza Safamita, the red-haired daughter of landowners, grows up between her mother's rejection and her father's affection, who makes her his heir. Her wet nurse Amalia Cuffaro later narrates her life: the move to Palermitan society, a difficult marriage, the confrontation with the mafia, and the feeling of not fitting in. Portrait of a contradictory woman in a family saga of passions, cruelty, and abuses of power.
Translation by Carlos Gumpert; original title: «La zia marchesa», originally published in 1993. Edition with dust jacket.
Ideal for readers of historical fiction and family sagas set in nineteenth-century Sicily.
