Description
Rina Pierangeli Faccio's life is forever changed when she gives birth to the child of the man who raped her and forced her into marriage. Determined to break free from her past, she sets out to change her name and forge a new identity. Decades later, Romaine Brooks finds solace in the island of Capri, where she hopes to escape the fates that have haunted her.
Through a series of interconnected vignettes, Selby Wynn Schwartz brings to life a vibrant group of women who defied convention and fought for liberation and justice. From the early 20th century, their stories are woven together in a tapestry of poetry, art, and activism, offering a powerful celebration of female resilience and creativity.
This luminous novel shines a light on the often-overlooked lives of trailblazing women, while also holding up a mirror to our present and future. With its lush prose and fierce spirit, After Sappho is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
