| This international bestseller is a story told by an Italian boy in his 13th year, recorded in his secret diary. It is 1963, a young man's summer of discovery--a time for a boy with innocent hands and a pure heart to look beyond the ordinary in everyday things to see the far-reaching landscape, and all of its possibilities, from a rooftop terrace on God's Mountain. |

From the Publisher:
In 1963 Naples, a thirteen-year-old boy recalls a summer of discovery and awakening in his secret diary, as he describes his odyssey from boy to adolescent, his relationship with Maria, the thirteen-year-old girl who lives above him, his job sweeping floors in Master Errico's carpentry workshop, and his relationship with Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee from the Holocaust. Original. |
Annotation:
In this magical Italian novel, a boy living in an impoverished section of Naples leaves school to work in the shop of a cabinetmaker. There he meets a saintly humpback, a cobbler, who gives him a boomerang that indirectly changes the boy's life, and the life of Maria, who becomes his girlfriend.
