The novel details the encounter and subsequent relationship between Innocenzo (Cenzo) Vianello, a fisherman from Pellestrina, and Giulia Silber, daughter of a wealthy Jewish family from Venice, and is set in early 1945. PlotThe novel takes place during the weeks before the collapse of the Republic of Salò and the death of Benito Mussolini. While fishing at night, Cenzo rescues Giulia from the water, who was fleeing from the Wehrmacht. Giulia had been hiding with her family in a hospital, but their location and identity were betrayed, and she swims the Venetian Lagoon to escape. Cenzo's pastoral life soon becomes quite complicated as he tries to help her leave Italy. Publication history
ReceptionCritics were generally positive. Dennis Drabelle, reviewing for The Washington Post, called it an "engaging new novel".[1] Bethanne Patrick, for NPR, felt the plot was simple, but the novel was well written, stating that "everything is predictable, and yet nothing is stale" and "it will also serve as a tonic to those who are weary of terribly complex plots requiring flow charts and genealogies".[2] However, Charles Finch, writing for The New York Times, called it "very, very bad" and full of Hemingway-like clichés about war: "every gesture of midcentury Romanticism in “The Girl From Venice” is a received one, repackaged and presented as the most profound wisdom".[3] References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/martin-cruz-smith-brings-us-wartime-italy-in-girl-from-venice/2016/10/16/f00a3096-5998-11e6-9aee-8075993d73a2_story.html |title=Martin Cruz Smith brings us wartime Italy in 'Girl from Venice' |author=Drabelle, Dennis |date=16 October 2016 |newspaper=The Washington Post |accessdate=15 November 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.npr.org/2016/10/19/497840054/a-fisherman-and-his-beautiful-first-mate-on-the-run-in-girl-from-venice |title=A Fisherman And His Beautiful First Mate, On The Run In 'Girl From Venice' |author=Patrick, Bethanne |date=19 October 2016 |publisher=NPR |accessdate=15 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/30/books/review/night-school-lee-child-and-more-thrillers.html |title=Six New Thrillers for Fall |author=Finch, Charles |author-link=Charles Finch |date=24 October 2016 |newspaper=The New York Times |accessdate=15 November 2017}} External links
