The blind contessa's new machine
Carolina Fantoni, a young contessa in nineteenth century Italy, is going blind. But nobody believes her, neither her parents nor her fiance. Only her friend Turri, the eccentric local inventory, understands. Losing her sight isolates Carolina. Even writing letters with pen and ink proves almost impossible, until Turri invents a new machine: the world's first typewriter. His gift ignites a passionate love affair that will mark both of their lives forever.
