The year is 1570, and in the northern Italian city of Ferrara, in the convent of Santa Caterina, one hundred women live inside God’s protection. But any community, however smoothly run, suffers tremors when it takes in someone by force. Sarah Dunant’s new novel, Sacred Hearts, begins with the dramatic arrival of Santa Caterina’s new novice, Serafina, whose forced admission into the convent sets in motion a chain of events that will shake the institution to its core.
Sarah Dunant is the author of the international bestseller The Birth of Venus, which has received major acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, and In the Company of the Courtesan. Her earlier novels include three Hannah Wolfe crime thrillers, as well as Snowstorms in a Hot Climate, Transgressions, and Mapping the Edge. She has two daughters and lives in London and Florence.
Admission for all lectures is $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers, unless otherwise noted.
Reservations are requested for all lectures.
