Ambientato a Roma dal 1941 al 1947, il romanzo è un grande affresco corale che racconta gli orrori della guerra e della storia, "questo scandalo che dura da duemila anni". Al centro, le disgraziate vicende della maestrina Iduzza Ramundo, vedova mite e rassegnata, e del figlio Useppe, pischelletto dai grandi occhi azzurri spalancati sul mondo. Pubblicato nel 1974, ottenne un enorme successo e infiammò violente polemiche, diventando immediatamente un caso politico e letterario.

Amparándose en la coartada del terrorismo, unos políticos teócratas se hacen con el poder y, como primera medida, suprimen la libertad de prensa y los derechos de las mujeres.

Elsa de' Giorgi è stata una donna bellissima, una delle più belle del suo tempo; un'attrice importante nell'epoca dei telefoni bianchi ma invisa al regime fascista per le sue coraggiose posizioni politiche che la porteranno dopo pochi anni a sostenere concretamente la Resistenza romana. Grazie al matrimonio con il nobile Contini Bonacossi poté contare su una collezione d'arte che spaziava da Cimabue a Goya. E nella sua casa, ormai circolo letterario di alto profilo, fecero capolino molte tra le figure letterarie più importanti degli anni cinquanta.

Och i gengäld kan nog familjen och de snälla grannarna hjälpa honom att skapa en ny, fin söndagskostym.
