The Silent Gondoliers is the less famous book written by William Goldman, author of The Princess Bride. It's a quick read and it's really cute. Luigi has always wanted to be a gondolier, there's only one problem...he can't sing! Of course I've never heard of singing gondoliers, and this story explains why. So poor Luigi can't become a gondolier because he is a horrible singer, even though he is probably the most skilled gondolier around. Did I mention the girl he's in love with won't date him because he's not a gondolier? Luigi has a tough journey ahead of him. Will he ever fulfill his dream of being a gondolier and singing loud on his boat in the middle of the grand canal? Read the book to find out.
