In Paris a century and a half before its writing, a usurer’s household, a mixed marriage and a young woman’s fall set in motion a story of sin and penitence that ends in Italy in the shadow of Vesuvius. O’Reilly presents it as a tale of the penitent saints, gathered from old traditions and told for edification.
