Synopsis
Verga's fourth novel, first published in 1871, is the tragic story of a love that developed between a young nun and a Sicilian man during a cholera epidemic, when their town had to be briefly evacuated. Verga's novel, in addition to paying tribute to the purity of young love, was intended as an indictment of the convents of Sicily, where families would direct or force their unwanted daughters, creating institutions filled with fragile, ignorant, and often mentally ill women who had no faculty for the profession of Christian piety.
