520 8  $a Set in Rome, Italy, and inspired by the extraordinary true story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, My Father's House is an atmospheric, gripping, and unforgettable story of love, faith, and courage. It is September 1943 and German Nazi forces have the Eternal City under their complete control. Gestapo boss Paul Hauptmann rules with vicious efficiency. The population is hungry and cowed. Rumors fester, betrayal is everywhere. The war's outcome is far from certain. Diplomats, refugees, Jews, and escaped Allied prisoners flee into Vatican City, the world's smallest state, as a small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest is drawn into a deadly battle of wits as they risk everything to help them escape. "Few living writers can take us back in time so assuredly, with such sensual density, through such gorgeous sentences."-Peter Carey
