Series: See all books in this series
September 1943: German forces occupy Rome. SS officer Paul Hauptman rules with terror. The war's outcome is far from certain.
An Irish priest, Hugh O'Flaherty, dedicates himself to helping those escaping from the Nazis. His home is Vatican City, the world's smallest state, a neutral, independent country within Rome where the occupiers hold no sway. Here Hugh brings together an unlikely band of friends to hide the vulnerable under the noses of the enemy.
But Hauptman's net begins closing in on the Escape Line and the need for a terrifyingly audacious mission grows critical. By Christmastime, it's too late to turn back.
Based on an extraordinary true story, My Father's House is a powerful literary thriller from a master of historical fiction. Joseph O'Connor has created an unforgettable novel of love, faith and sacrifice, and what it means to be truly human in the most extreme circumstances.

My Father’s House by Joseph O'Connor - Sinéad & Rick's Must Reads
My Father’s House by Joseph O'Connor - Sinéad & Rick's Must Reads
RTE broadcaster Rick O'Shea shares his review of My Father’s House by Joseph O'Connor. If your reading habits are anything like mine, then a new Joseph O’Connor book is one you’ll long look forward to. ‘My Father’s House’ is the lightly fictionalised story of Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty, who was part of a group that ran the Rome Escape Line during the Nazi occupation of Rome. They did heroic and dangerous work and risked their own lives to hide people fleeing Nazi persecution in safe places (including parts of the Vatican), and then found ways to get them out of the country.
