La llarga vida de Marianna Ucrìa es una novela de Dacia Maraini que narra la vida de una mujer siciliana del siglo XVIII, sorda de nacimiento, en un mundo dominado por hombres y convenciones sociales. A través de su historia, la autora explora temas como la opresión femenina, la incomunicación y la búsqueda de la identidad en una sociedad llena de prejuicios. Marianna, obligada a casarse a los trece años, descubre el mundo a través de la lectura y la observación, desafiando las limitaciones impuestas por su condición y su época.
