I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 Cenzo is a fisherman in 1945 Venice. One night while out on his boat, he sees a girl floating face down in the water. He pulls her body onto his boat and discovers that the girl, Giulia, is actually still alive. Now, all factions fighting for power as World War II winds down want to use Cenzo to get to Giulia. 
 My favorite part about this book was reading about the different factions vying for power. The premise that the book is "most of all...a love story" was what originally made me want to read it, but I did not feel the romance of this book. It seemed to be based around nothing more than "He's a boy; she's a girl. Of course they're going to get together." This wasn't a bad story, but it wasn't enthralling, either.
