It's the story of a young girl who lived within her family in happiness and prosperity. Then the blows of the spell struck her suddenly and harshly. She lost in a very short time, her parents' one after another. Alone, she had to fight to survive in a fifth century Roman Africa, cruel and full of vices and social ills. From Tagaste, her hometown, fate took her to Calame, a nearby town in the south of the province to live with her aunt. But because of the husband of this last, thing did not go as she had hoped. She reluctantly left the town of Calame for Hippo, a very important city of Roman Africa, where she joined the convent of the women of Hippo.Between the walls of the convent she learned many things and wove relationships that made her forget her woes. In time, she became very strong and only counted on herself. But as if bad luck had not yet released her, even inside the convent, the intrigues threatened her again with suffering and misleading. The unexpected return of her uncle from Carthage, in one of the most crucial moments of her life, saved her, and opened new Horizons for her.Before waking from his nightmare and taking his fate into his own hands, her uncle was blinded by the false impressions of the false happiness in which he lived. For her own interests and those of her family, his wife, a Carthaginian, wicked and selfish had used every conceivable and imaginable scheme to blind him and force him to ignore himself, to keep him away from his people and to enslave him well.Well protected and surrounded by tenderness and attention, Numidia took out her old dreams from the oubliette drawer, dusted them off and put them in front of her another time. This revenge on the bad fate that had always pursued her gave her the strength, the assurance and the hope to realize everything. She understood that whatever the misfortunes that struck us, the hope of reappearing another time of rubble and rebuilding another time her life is always allowed. It is enough to believe firmly in oneself and to cling to whatever obstacles, constraints and ills, to ones dreams.The story of Numidia is just an example of life for all those little people, who, on the edge of the great story "with its big ax," as Georges Perec says, still made the heart of humanity vibrate. A humanity which had suffered and unfortunately still suffers from its own defects.
