A Times Best Thriller Book of 2022
The Palazzo Colombina is home to the Uccello family: three generations of men, trapped together in the dusty palace on Venices 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 hes waited his whole life to share.
When a Jewish classmate is attacked by bullies, Nico just watches earning him a weeks 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 grandfathers life: when Paolos support for a murdered Jewish woman brings him into the sights of the citys underground resistance. Hooked and unsettled, Nico cant stop reading but he soon wonders if he ever knew his beloved grandfather at all.
