This moving and elegiac novel charts the sentimental education of Francesca Ziani, a young, naive student who lodges with her cousin Amedea in a crumbling Venetian palazzo. Rich, reckless and unashamedly patrician, Amedea feels trapped by the stagnant society in which she moves and, contemptuous of the effects on her English husband and their small son, makes a dramatic attempt to break free.
