520 "The Palazzo Colombina is home to the Uccello family:
three generations of men, trapped together in the dusty
palace on Venice's Grand Canal. Awkward fifteen-year-old
Nico. His distant, business-focused father. And his
beloved grandfather, Paolo. Paolo is dying. But before he
passes, he has secrets he's waited his whole life to
share. When a Jewish classmate is attacked by bullies,
Nico just watches - earning him a week's suspension and a
typed, yellowing manuscript from his frail Nonno Paolo. A
history lesson, his grandfather says. A secret he must
keep from his father. A tale of blood and madness . . .
Nico is transported back to the Venice of 1943, an
occupied city seething under its Nazi overlords, and to
the defining moment of his grandfather's life: when
Paolo's support for a murdered Jewish woman brings him
into the sights of the city's underground resistance.
Hooked and unsettled, Nico can't stop reading - but he
soon wonders if he ever knew his beloved grandfather at
all."--Provided by publisher.
