Description
In 1570, in the Italian city of Ferrara, sixteen-year-old Serafina is ripped from an illicit love affair by her family and forced into the convent of Santa Caterina, renowned for its superb music. Serafina's one weapon is her glorious voice, but she refuses to sing.
Madonna Chiara, an abbess as fluent in politics as she is in prayer, finds her new charge has unleashed a power play—rebellion, ecstasies, and hysterias—within the convent. However, watching over Serafina is Zuana, the sister in charge of the infirmary, who understands and might even challenge her incarceration.
Sacred Hearts by Sarah Dunant delves into the complexities and dynamics of convent life, exploring themes of power, love, and freedom.
