More about the book
The narrator, Andac, a freeborn Roman citizen of mixed heritage, feels an affinity for outsiders and shares the story of Natalia, a wealthy Roman matron who chooses to exile herself from her aristocratic roots. Inspired by her ascetic grandmother, she seeks to renounce her wealth and live in poverty, all while attempting to persuade her husband Valerian to embrace a life of chastity. This narrative explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and the struggle between social status and personal conviction.
