'My name is Teresa Ciabatti, I am four years old, and I am the daughter, the joy, the pride, the love of the Professor.' The Professor is Lorenzo Ciabatti, head of the hospital in Orbetello, a talented, modest benefactor whom some call a saint; everyone loves and fears him. Teresa is his adored daughter, the only one allowed to wear his sapphire ring. Slipping from childhood into adolescence, she realizes that the world's kindness towards her is a side effect of its servility towards her father, and grows proud, arrogant and unprepared for life. As an adult she sets out to discover who her father really was.
