A novel about the first woman in her town to get a divorce, at a time when divorce was neither permitted nor accepted. She is the first woman to challenge an entire society eaten away by decay, dealing an unforgettable blow to its very structure. After her, the topic of virginity was never again raised with such openness, though it continues to dominate the minds of everyone, men and women alike, to this day.

Despite the injustice she endured, she remained beautiful and embraced life, working tirelessly to support her mother and planting the seeds of defiance, pride, and self-esteem in an entire generation. She lived ignoring the whispers, despising hateful rumors and wagging tongues, and became a living example for us all of how outdated customs have polluted our minds, distorted our souls, and ruined our lives.
