The novel is a kaleidoscopic, polyphonic account of the life of Gerda Taro (née Gerda Pohorylle, 1910–1937), the first female war photographer to die on the battlefield. A must-read for fans of historical fiction about strong women and anti-fascism.
Through these stories, Moravia explores themes of social inequality, the struggle for survival, and human frailty, portraying them with a mix of humor, irony, and realistic observation.

The novel follows the declining Roman bourgeois family of Ardengo over the course of several days: widow Mariagrazia, lover Leo, son Michele, and daughter Carla – all trapped in apathy, lies, sexual manipulation, and moral indifference.
