“The choir is singing again. It’s essentially the same group readers met in Irish novelist Joseph O’Connor’s first book My Father’s House, but characters are developed in more depth in The Ghosts of Rome, O’Connor’s second book of hazardous adventures of a small group running an escape line under the direction of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty.
It is a captivating study of human morality and courage under inhuman levels of stress. This small group of daring rescuers used the activities of a choir to cover their real work—smuggling escaped Allied prisoners out of Nazi-occupied Rome... O’Connor has crafted a historical suspense novel brimming with unforgettable personalities, illuminating human character and relationships forged in the horrors of war.”
