29 Springs When Lucia Escaped

About This Novel

A piece of documentary literature that touches Italy, a stigmatized lower-class woman, a desperate escape, and a support of love at the cost of her life. She used an escape that shocked the whole country to resist the hunting of women in the era. Maria, the author of this book, is an abandoned baby who caused a sensation throughout Italy. Her parents abandoned her on a park lawn and then both committed suicide by jumping into a river. The incident attracted numerous media reports and set off a huge wave of public opinion. In just three days, relevant agencies received up to 50 adoption applications. But a question has always haunted Maria like a ghost: How could a mother abandon her child and commit suicide? Fifty years later, Maria returned to the place where her mother Lucia lived, collected various archival materials, and finally restored her mother's short but splendid life: she was forced to marry a man she did not love, endured domestic violence and abuse, but the law prohibited divorce, and escaping without permission would be punished.
