Elizabeth Fremantle: Sinners, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Rome, 1599.

A young noblewoman accused of murder, awaits execution. Imprisoned in the Corte Savella, she has captured the hearts and sympathy of all Rome...

This is the true and tragic tale ofBeatrice Cenci.

History has sold her short. She is no doe-eyed victim of her father's brutality, nor the cunning murderer who plotted her father's demise. No, this Beatrice - a woman pregnant by her lover, incarcerated in a remote castle by her father, and brim-full of white-hot rage - is both innocent and guilty, saint and sinner.

And she will stand tall in the face of the violence of men, no matter the cost.
