The story unfolds in a hospital setting, where the protagonist, a nurse, is faced with the moral complexities presented by a wounded contraband, a term used for escaped slaves during that time. The nurse, dedicated to her work, meets Roberto, a strong and proud man who has faced terrible injustices and losses, including the death of his beloved Lucino. As their paths converge, themes of love, sacrifice, and social justice are explored, culminating in an emotional battle between revenge and compassion. The novel paints a vivid picture of the characters' struggles, revealing deep insights into the human condition and the era's social dynamics, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and the moral quandaries of the past.
