The story follows Costanza Safamita, the only daughter of a wealthy landowning family, loved by her father but rejected by her mother. Costanza grows up among the servants, divided between her father's pride and the limited prospects of provincial life. By her father's will, she inherits the family estate and faces Palermitan society and a marriage in balance between love and the impossibility of fully surrendering. The novel explores themes of family, social class, and the decline of the Sicilian aristocracy.
