In a German-occupied Rome during world war II, as diplomats, refugees and escaped Allied prisoners flee for protection into Vatican City, a small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest risk everything, including their lives, to help those seeking refuge. - Baker & Taylor
"September 1943: German forces occupy Rome. Gestapo boss Obersturmbannfèuhrer Paul Hauptmann rules with terror. Hunger is widespread. Rumors fester. The war's outcome is far from certain. Diplomats, refugees, and escaped Allied prisoners flee for protection into Vatican City, at one fifth of a square mile the world's smallest state, a neutral, independent country within Rome. A small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest is drawn into deadly danger as they seek to help those seeking refuge."-- - Perseus Publishing
From inside the Vatican, Monsignor Hugh OâFlaherty makes a daring attempt to smuggle thousands of innocents out of Nazi-occupied Rome in this World War II âliterary thriller of the highest orderâ (The Guardian), the first in a series by New York Times bestselling author, Joseph OâConnor.
September 1943: German forces have Rome under their control. SS Commander Paul Hauptmann rules over the Eternal City with vicious efficiency. The warâs outcome is far from certain. Diplomats, refugees, Jews, and escaped Allied prisoners flee for protection into Vatican City, a neutral, independent state nestled in the city of Rome. A small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest is drawn into deadly battle of wits with Hauptmann and his soldiers.
Suspenseful, beautifully written, and inspired by a true story, My Fatherâs House tells an unforgettable story of love, faith, sacrifice, and courage.
*The second book in the Rome Escape Line Trilogy, The Ghosts of Rome, is available now.*
