 Ferri ably ventriloquizes the simultaneously irritating and appealing voice of adolescent Cecilia, inclined “to prefer spiritual fervor at the expense of discipline.” But when, after a corrosive union with a volatile husband, this “seed of obstinacy” leads her to Christianity and inevitable martyrdom, the plucky voice gets lost in religious platitudes.
Tells the story of a young girl's search to define herself in a world rife with social upheaval, religious conflict and deep foreboding. Cecilia, born into a noble Roman family in the second century AD, is 15 years old. But in a society that leaves little room for women to discover aptitudes, her search for knowledge, which she conducts with all the awkwardness and urgency of her age, is fraught with challenges. Grasping for light in an age of darkness and searching for answers among conflicting ideologies, Cecilia tells the story of a soul's progress. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
