Lucretia




Chapters 19, 20




    "This isn't the Lucretia everyone expects her to be," Orazio said.
    "I know. But it's got to be this way, that she isn't sure, so people looking at it a long time from now, women and men too, might feel badly, might even weep that at some ignorant time there was once a woman raped who was pressured, even expected, to kill herself."
