The compassionate adventure, full of light and shadows, of a woman who challenged her own time: Elvira Notari, a pioneer of Italian and international
film. Love and maternity, poverty and triumph, rebellion and regret come together in this enthralling novel set in early-20th-century Naples.
From great postwar successes to the hostility of fascism, the life of Elvira Notari resembles a feuilleton, in which a passionate and strong-willed heroine is a precursor of her time, as she follows a passion that wasn’t yet granted to women.
