OLDER FICTION
Mariconda, Barbara

Bird with the Heart of a Mountain

(4) YA When Drina's Roma mother dies and her baby half-sister is kidnapped, Drina tries to rescue the infant but winds up in the custody of the affluent Spanish father and grandmother she's never known. Drina's deep passion for flamenco dance and the dangers of a violent time--the 1930 Spanish Civil War--are vividly evoked, but ineffectual, indecisive Drina is a frustrating protagonist.
