Description

Cecilia tells the story of a young woman's search for her place in a world marked by social upheaval and religious conflict. Born into a noble Roman family, Cecilia seeks knowledge with urgency and awkwardness typical of her age.

In a society where women's freedom to explore their beliefs, talents, and ambitions is severely limited, Cecilia's quest becomes a constant confrontation with the world around her. She searches for light in darkness and answers among warring ideologies and nascent faiths, including Christianity, which she ultimately comes to embrace.

With elegant prose, Linda Ferri recounts an enthralling journey from a restless child to a woman endowed with the strength to risk her own death in defense of her beliefs. This is a story of a soul's progress, one that will resonate with readers who appreciate historical fiction and coming-of-age tales.
