La vida silenciosa de Marianna Ucria es una novela de Dacia Maraini ambientada en Sicilia en el siglo XVIII. La protagonista, Marianna Ucria, se vuelve sorda y muda a los cinco años y vive recluida en el silencio debido a un doloroso secreto. Encuentra refugio en la lectura y el conocimiento, descubriendo la vida a través de los libros y las ideas de la Ilustración. En este saber, Marianna encuentra el coraje para enfrentar la verdad sobre su condición y conquistar su libertad en una isla de extremos, donde la belleza y la miseria, la ternura y la violencia coexisten.
