A blind scholar's daughter in Florence marries a charming Greek who betrays her father, his own father and the city. She turns to the friar preaching reform, watches him burn, and ends up raising her husband's children by another woman.

The law was sacred. Yes, but rebellion might be sacred too.
Romola, George Eliot
