(2) YA Living in Florence while her historian father researches the city's devastating 1966 flood, seventeen-year-old Nadia develops a rare neurological disorder that inhibits language, drives compulsions, and increases creativity. Nadia's first-person narrative is fittingly hallucinatory; events become clearer when best friend Maggie narrates. While the flood backstory highlights appropriate themes of loss and chaos, the city's rebirth evokes miracles and salvation.
