Leaving a cheap Florentine eating house after a good dinner, a stranger is stopped in the street by a woman who offers to take him to a girl. Told over five days and an aftermath, Oriani's stark novel follows a poor household that sacrifices its daughter Tina to need, and those who look on. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
