This fascinating historical account tells the story of Jeanne-Baptiste, Countess of Verrua, who was sacrificed in an arranged marriage to the Duke of Savoy, Victor Amadeus II, in the 17th century. Despite her circumstances, she managed to influence the politics of Piedmont and acted as a spy for France. After fleeing to Paris, she became a key figure in the Fronde and one of the most celebrated ladies of the Regency. Lucio Lami's rigorous historical reconstruction is as compelling as a novel.
