September 1943: nazi forces occupy Rome. SS Officer Paul Hauptmann rules with terror. An Irish priest, Hugh O’Flaherty, dedicates himself to helping people escape. In huis home in the Vatican – a neutral, independent country inside Rome – he gathers a team to set up an Escape Line. But Hauptmann’s net begins closing in and the need for a terrifyingly audacious mission grows critical. By Christmas, it’s too late to turn back. Inspired by a true story, My Father’s House is a powerful thriller from a master of historical fiction.
