My Father's House by Joseph O'Connor

4.0

I read this after a slew of John Boyne books (which are some of my favorite reads ever) and enjoyed it very much - wonderful writing. A different twist on WWII novels that focuses on the resistance more than the war itself and based on the true story of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty. Right under the Germans' noses he and many accomplices from all walks of life, risked their lives to smuggle and escaped Allied prisoners out of Rome. It was equally suspenseful and uplifting. I loved the characters and the twist at the end.
