Rosa, stubborn as mountain flowers breaking through the stone to the sun, runs away from her parents' house with her lover, opens a tavern with him, and after her husband's death becomes the head of the family. Her daughter Selma, gentle as embroidery, which she never lets go of, marries against her mother's advice. When her chosen one betrays her, squandering her dowry, she saves the family for the sake of her daughters. Patrizia, Lavinia and Marinella inherit not only the character traits of their mother and grandmother, but also family traumas. They will have to remember the lessons of Selma and Rosa in order to start living, following their own dreams.

Italian critics call Aurora Tamigio's debut novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude with a Woman's Face", putting it on a par with Natalia Ginzburg's "Family Lexicon" and Grazia Deledda's prose. From the patriarchal 1920s to the turbulent 1980s, from silent consent to finding a voice, in this chronicle of female strength and solidarity, keeping one's maiden name becomes a symbol of freedom.
