Not a detective Renko mystery but a multifaceted story about being Venetians during the German Occupation towards the end of WWII as partisans, fascists, pacifists, spies, smugglers ... and a lonesome fisherman. No less than Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti novels and films, Smith painted the landscape and people around the Venice Lagoons in vivid colors while telling a romantic wartime story about a fisherman and a young Jewish girl on a treacherous journey to escape from a Nazi villain.
