The Vines of San Rocco

By Anton & Addie

Nora Bellandi knows exactly how to get noticed, post the right thing, say the right thing, laugh at the right joke, even when it isn't funny. It's worked for years. Until it doesn't.

One suspension for online bullying later, Nora's mother makes a decision Nora never saw coming: a summer with her aunt, a Benedictine nun living at a small vineyard convent in the Italian countryside. No phone. No group chat. No crowd to impress. Just early mornings, aching hands, a language she doesn't speak, and a wine cellar that runs on rules far older than she is.

Nora expected punishment. What she finds instead is work that actually matters, a silence she has to learn to sit in, and an old man in Rome's Jewish quarter who survived something Nora can't fully imagine, and who says more with what he doesn't say than anyone back home ever did.

By the time Nora goes home, nothing there has changed. She has.
