Dacia Maraini
Finalist for the International Man Booker Prize, winner of the Premio Campiello (Italy?s equivalent of the National Book Award), short-listed for the Independent Foreign Fiction Award upon its first English-language publication in the U. K., and published to critical acclaim in fourteen languages, this mesmerizing historical novel by one of Italy?s premier women writers is available in the United States for the first time.
The Silent Duchess is the story of Marianna Ucrìa, the victim of a mysterious childhood trauma that has left her deaf and mute, trapped in a world of silence. Marianna searches for knowledge and fulfillment in a society where women have few choices. In luminous language that conveys both the keen visual sight and the deep human insight possessed by her remarkable main character, Dacia Maraini captures the splendor and the corruption of Marianna?s world and the strength of her spirit. The Silent Duchess is the timeless story of one woman?s struggle to find her own voice after years of silence.
