His life is about to change; his world, about to open.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe lives in Montedidio--God's Mountain--a cluster of alleys in the heart of Naples. He brings a paycheck home every Saturday from Mast'Errico's carpentry workshop where he sweeps the floor. He is on his way to becoming a man--his boy's voice is abandoning him. His wooden boomerang is neither toy nor tool, but something in between. Then there is Maria, the thirteen-year-old girl who lives above him and, like so many girls, is wiser than he. She carries the burden of a secret life herself. She'll speak to him for the first time this summer. There is also his friendship with a cobbler named Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee who has escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, who has no idea how long he's been on this earth, and who is said to sprout wings for a blessed few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 1963, a young man's summer of discovery. A time for a boy with innocent hands and a pure heart to look beyond the ordinary in everyday things to see the far-reaching landscape, and all of its possibilities, from a rooftop terrace on God's Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573229609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.22h x 5.00w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2002 pg. 1491\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/09\/2002 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2002 pg. 731\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Mar\/Apr 2003\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2003 pg. 175\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Erri De Luca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43433863053493,"sku":"9781573229609","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_47fbbd37-7561-4716-938b-f2dab1448c92.jpg?v=1703571250","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gods-mountain-9781573229609","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
