What is life like in the ville de selle: small population; no electricity, area was filled with farmland, the people in the town were very superstitious. Describe the main characters: vittorio: very immature, totally oblivious to the world around him, cristina: controversial; rebellious (goes against all beliefs and traditions) She is a very head strong people and does not buy into the superstitions. She is very out spoken/ no filter; she doesn"t care what her village thinks. Other women just do what they are supposed to do, whereas cristina does not do or fall in line with how women in society should act. Women of the town seem to fear her but admire her at the same time. In the novel, we learn that vittorio"s father may be beat her; when he left she was no longer oppressed. He is the unofficial major of the town; because he was a decorated soldier (leg stepped on by a horse)
