pickThis is a wonderful piece of historical fiction based on fact. It‘s beautifully written in a very evocative and descriptive manner, even operatic in some ways. The story rattles along at a fair rate. The characters have distinctive voices. It‘s really quite the page turner and very much a thriller. A powerful, moving and worthwhile read and I look forward to reading book two, The Ghosts of Rome. #Pigeonhole

so-soI possibly read too much WWII historical fiction. This one dragged in bits and I only cared about some of the characters.

My Fathers House begins in 1943 Rome is occupied by German forces. A literary thriller based on the true story of an Irish priest Monsignor Hugh OFlaherty. I read this for Bookclub , I anticipate a heated discussion.
