The Piedmontese officer Prospero Carlo Carando di Vignon, stationed in London, marries Anne Bacon, daughter of a wealthy silk merchant. When she reaches Turin after surviving smallpox, she is much changed, and married life promises to be a small domestic hell. But her father-in-law Casimiro, a hardline conservative, asks her to look after the family estate of the Mandrone, and an unexpected complicity grows between them. As Anne devotes herself to the secluded, industrious life of the estate, the Vignon family's story becomes entwined with the spirit of the age and with silk, in the years before Italy is born.
