Bookroo's summary
In 14th-century Florence, young Maria faces a dire struggle. With food scarce and the Black Plague ravaging the city, she must fight for every loaf to keep her family alive. Having already lost her mother and sister, Maria's determination is tested as she navigates a world where survival is uncertain. Can she protect her loved ones from the relentless grip of hunger and disease, or will the darkness consume them all? Discover Maria's journey of resilience and hope in a city on the brink of despair.
From the publisher
Years of bad weather and natural disasters have choked Italy’s food supply, and the people of Florence are dying of starvation. Breadlines are battlegrounds, and young Maria has to fight for her family’s every loaf. Adding to the misery, the Black Plague is rapidly spreading through the country, killing everyone in its path. Maria has already lost her mother and sister. Will she be strong enough to save the rest of her family before it’s too late?
