"Marie Tarnowska" by Annie Vivanti is a gripping tale from the early 1900s that follows the life of Marie Nicolaevna Tarnowska, a Russian noblewoman whose involvement in a scandalous homicide case brings up tough questions about right and wrong, as well as how society judges people using the lens of love, crime, and the challenges faced by women, especially regarding what's expected of them and their personal struggles. The book begins by exploring the events that lead to Count Paul Kamarowsky's murder, which sets the scene for a trial filled with passion, disloyalty, and sorrow surrounding Marie; through the eyes of a doctor who knows the case well, the reader discovers Marie's difficult past and the health issues that affected her family, suggesting deeper criticisms of how women were treated and ideas about criminality. The story invites readers to understand Marie's pain as she goes from a privileged life to being locked away in a prison, revealing her emotional and mental struggles.
