This novel, published in 1897, offers a glimpse into the domestic and social life of late nineteenth century Bologna. The narrative focuses on the interactions between young women living in the same building, exploring themes of courtship, social observation, and rivalry. You will encounter descriptive, somewhat elaborate sentence structures typical of the era. The vocabulary is varied, reflecting both daily domestic settings and the emotional nuances of the characters. It is a suitable read for those looking to practice formal Italian prose.

Questions about this book

What level of Italian do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 1 h 38 min at a native pace, spread over 10 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
