An enchantingly imagined romance inspired by the true story of the
typewriter's invention.
Carolina Fantoni, a young contessa in nineteenth-century Italy, is
going blind. Neither her parents nor her fiance believe her. Only
her friend Turri, an eccentric local inventor, understands. As
darkness erases Carolina's world, she discovers one place where she
can still see-in her dreams-yet she remains isolated from the
outside world. Desperate to communicate with Carolina, Turri
creates a peculiar contraption for her: the world's first
typewriter. His gift ignites a passionate love affair that will
mark both their lives forever.
