Marcello's Date (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500239459)

1949. In an Italian coastal village, Marcello Romero, the son of a poor fisherman, dreams of the beautiful Elena Gamboccini. His chances of getting her first date, when up against Armond Cessero, the son of the ice-cream magnate, are slim. Nevertheless, Marcello follows the village tradition and tries to find a gift for her father in an attempt to win his daughter's hand. Remembering the butcher's cockerel that wakes Elena's father every morning, Marcello thinks he's found the perfect present. But how is he to obtain a cockerel that no one wants to sell? And even then, at how high a price?
