| Summary |
"Sola contro tutti!" by Nicola Misasi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the political turbulence in Sicily and Naples, primarily focusing on King Ferdinando IV and his wife, Queen Carolina d’Austria. Central to the narrative, the character of Carolina stands out as she navigates the complex dynamics of power, loyalty, and betrayal in a regnum that is under foreign domination. At the start of the novel, we find King Ferdinando IV in exile in Ficuzza, reflecting on his miserable state while surrounded by sycophants and enemies. The royal couple’s relationship is fraught with tension, as Carolina grapples with feelings of humiliation and betrayal due to the English control over their kingdom. As significant discussions unfold, primarily between Carolina and Alma, the queen's lady-in-waiting, themes of courage, political intrigue, and the struggle for independence begin to emerge, setting the stage for an engaging exploration of the personal and political ramifications of their plight amidst a backdrop of rebellion against their oppressors.
