Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Something is not right with Nadia Cara. While spending a year in Florence, Italy, she's become a thief. She has secrets. And when she tries to speak, the words seem far away. Nadia finds herself trapped by her own obsessions and following the trail of an elusive Italian boy whom only she has seen. Can Nadia be rescued or will she simply lose herself altogether? Set against the backdrop of a glimmering city, One Thing Stolen is an exploration of obsession, art, and a rare neurological disorder. It is a celebration of language, beauty, imagination, and the salvation of love.

“"Here and disappearing.
Sonic and gone.
Go on, Dad says. Catch us some dawn."
So, I won an arc of this book through one of Goodreads' First Reads giveaways back in late March (the book came out in early April, but I didn't receive my arc until last Saturday).First, let me start off by saying the writing is beautiful, if not a little confusing at times. One Thing Stolen is a book following three separate POVs , but the story mainly focuses around the first POV Nadia.
Nadia Cara is a girl who just moved with her professor father and the rest of her family to Florence Italy, leaving behind her best friend Maggie Ercolani, her father is there to study the flood that happened there in 1966. Nadia is a thief. A thief obsessed with 'lost things'. She steals these things because she feels they'll be left behind and forgotten, much like she fears people will do to her. She takes the things she steals and makes bird nests out of them. Nadia also has some problems mentally, but we don't know what She has trouble talking, has trouble remembering things, and oh yeah seeing a boy that nobody else can see.”
