A review by dolcezzina21
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon

5.0

One of the best books I've ever read. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a rich, captivating story based in truth. It explores the Italian Jews' experience in the time of Hitler, the role of the Catholic Church during that time, and the challenges of priesthood. No matter what genre you prefer, this book will appeal to you and it has a little of everything, I promise, and is part of what makes it such an engrossing read. I couldn't tend to my adult responsibilities this evening until I finished this book. That's when you know a book is truly special. This book reached into my soul and for a brief moment in time, I lived and saw through the eyes of those that suffered and rejoiced long ago. Amy did their stories justice and then some. I can definitely see this story becoming a movie very soon!
