Casa de Mi Padre, La

Összefoglaló

An Irish priest, Hugh O'Flaherty, is busy helping those fleeing the Nazis. His home is Vatican City, the smallest state in the world: neutral, independent, and located in the heart of Rome, beyond the reach of the occupiers. From there, Hugh brings together a group of allies as diverse as they are unlikely to hide the most vulnerable under the enemy's very nose. But Hauptmann's net is closing in on them, and the need to undertake a mission as reckless as it is daring becomes critical. By the time Christmas arrives, it is too late to turn back. Based on an extraordinary true story, 'The House of My Father' is a powerful literary thriller from one of the great masters of historical fiction. Joseph O'Connor has written an unforgettable novel about love, faith, and sacrifice, and what it means to be truly human in the most extreme circumstances.
