Disclaimer: E. Graziani was kind enough to send me a copy of Alice of the Rocks for review purposes.

Alice of the Rocks by E. Graziani is a novel set in the past and in the future.  It tells the story of Alice, a girl from the year 2029, who goes on vacation to Italy with her parents over the summer.  Alice seems to have everything going for her. She’s smart, pretty, has a long time boyfriend who loves her, awesome parents, but she’s unfocussed and as she enters her final year of high school is unsure of what she wants to do afterwards.  However, she’s excited to go back to Italy, because, as it turns out, Alice was found abandoned as an infant in Italy and adopted by her parents, who later immigrated to Canada. Circumstances summon her parents back to Canada for work, but Alice stays on in Italy, staying with her aunt and uncle and eventually going to stay in a villa near Florence (I think).  At this villa, she meets a boy named Claudio and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him.
