(3) YA Set in fourteenth-century Italy and based on known facts, this fictional account of the life of the daughter of Dante Alighieri is complex and demanding, not shying from the realities of civil war or the sophistication of the ideas that led to Dante's Divine Comedy. The setting is evoked with meticulous detail, and the character of Antonia "Bice" Alighieri is entirely believable.
