★ “O’Connor’s second book in his Rome Escape Line Trilogy is set in 1944, when WWII is at its height in the Nazi-occupied Eternal City. It’s a mesmerising, tragic, horrifying, utterly unputdownable story of the small, motley, incredibly brave band of eight people who call themselves the Choir... A deeply affecting read with an ending that’s sad yet life affirming, this is an outstanding choice for fans of WWII fiction and of writers like Anthony Doerr.”
