Quote #10
All three were spinsters, and their household had been rent by secret struggles for hegemony, so that each, a strong character in her own way, wanted a separate confessor. (8.1)
None of Fabrizio's three daughters ever gets married, and the book paints this as a sort of tragedy, since all three of them would have liked to get married. The truth is, though, that they have always been too shy and too proud to put their hearts on the line. The closest any of them has ever come is Concetta, who got her heart broken by Tancredi and never really got over it.
