"Poetic and romantic descriptions of nature and art combined with a social message that's both brutal and-
provocative”
― Anne 脴stby, Pieces of Happiness

“What would happen if he returned and asked permission to be Grace鈥檚 suitor? Well, she would not stand for it. Per l鈥檃mor di Dio, for the love of God, Grace was only seventeen, and it was the height of rudeness to abandon the mother for the daughter. If he did return, she would see that he was sent away.

鈥淵ou will have to walk over my corpse.
