Sacred Hearts

Set in 1570, "Amid Sacred Hearts" explores the lives of noblewomen at the convent of Santa Caterina in Ferrara, where order is disrupted by the forced arrival of sixteen-year-old Serafina, a defiant spirit torn from a forbidden romance. As Serafina grapples with her new reality, she forges a complex bond with the knowledgeable Suora Zuana, while also attracting the attention of other compelling figures within the convent’s walls. Amidst growing tensions and the looming pressures of the Counter-Reformation, this intricately woven narrative delves into themes of love, rebellion, and the power of friendship.
