Description
"Monza, Italia, 1936. Francesca, de trece años, yace a orillas del río Lambro bajo el peso de un hombre muerto que intentaba violarla cuando falleció de súbito. Su amiga Maddalena se arrastra desde el agua y la ayuda a zafarse del cuerpo, que esconden entre unos arbustos. La amistad entre las dos niñas comenzó un año antes, y está marcada por la rebelión y la búsqueda de libertad más allá de la rígida jerarquía social del pueblo. A Maddalena, de orígenes humildes, la llaman «La malnacida» por sus supuestos poderes oscuros, Francesca se une a su grupo de amigos en contra de la voluntad de su familia, descubriendo una nueva forma de vivir más allá de las convenciones sociales. Su vínculo superará las malas lenguas del pueblo, que culpan a Maddalena de varias muertes, pero será puesto a prueba por la guerra y el fascismo, y las dos amigas tendrán que decidir si aliarse en contra de la opresión social o dejar que el curso de la historia las separe para siempre."---,Provided by Publisher.
Description
"Monza, Italy, 1936. Thirteen-year-old Francesca lies on the banks of the Lambro River under the weight of a dead man who was trying to rape her, when he suddenly died. Her friend, Maddalena, crawls out of the water and helps her get out from under the dead body, which they then hide in some bushes. Their friendship began a year earlier, and is one marked by rebellion and the search for freedom beyond the rigid social hierarchy of the town. Maddalena, who comes from humble beginnings, is called "La malnacida/Born Evil" because of her supposed dark powers. Francesca joins her group of friends against her family's will, and discovers a new way of living beyond social conventions. Their bond will overcome the town gossip, which blames Maddalena for several deaths. It will be tested by war and fascism, and the two friends will have to decide whether to join together against social oppression or let the course of history separate them forever."
