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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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 . . .\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Severn House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55045407441239,"sku":"9780727850119","price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/3373063482447.jpg?v=1789594378","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/the-garden-of-angels-david-hewson-9780727850119","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
