Paul is trying to escape. He’s trying to escape from an Italian heritage that just doesn’t seem to have relevance for him any more, and he’s trying to escape from his nonno. They come from two different worlds, he and his grandfather, and Paul is more interested in his own world

his friends, the girls, the fast cars, the go-carts

than Nonno’s strange and embarrassing behaviour. Nonno is more than just a silly old man getting in the way of Paul’s lifestyle, though. Nonno has more stories to tell than Paul can even begin to imagine. But there is one big problem

Nonno is losing his mind. From the author of the highly successful Sparring with Shadows comes an irresistible, inspiring and brilliantly evocative story of family love, loyalty and wisdom.
