Does one live a life of one's own when one spends it all on others?”
This is the question posed by Titina, the novel's protagonist, a woman raised and educated in the austere and rural Sicilian environment of the first half of the 20th century, a question that is difficult to answer.
Forced to know soon the bitter disappointments of love that will inexorably influence her destiny strongly entwined with family events, Titina will seek her redemption in study, in work, in appropriating the first irreverent revolutionary ideas of the 1960s.
After various vicissitudes that seem to lead her further and further away from her goal, will it perhaps be the encounter with the elegant and mysterious woman in purple that will answer her question?
