A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A powerfully imagined novel . . . [a] profoundly moving book that engages the heights and depths of human experience.”—Los Angeles Times

It is September 8, 1943, and fourteen-year-old Claudette Blum and her father are among the thousands of Jewish refugees scrambling over the Alps toward Italy, where they hope to find safety now that the Italians have broken from Germany and made a separate peace with the Allies. The Blums will soon discover that Italy is anything but peaceful, as it quickly becomes an open battleground for the Nazis, the Allies, Resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and ordinary Italian civilians trying to survive.

Tracing the lives of a handful of fascinating characters—a charismatic Italian Resistance leader, a priest, an Italian rabbi’s family, a disillusioned German doctor—Mary Doria Russell tells the little-known story of the vast underground effort by Italian citizens who saved the lives of 43,000 Jews during the final phase of World War II. A Thread of Grace puts a human face on history.

A Thread of Grace. A haunting novel... The characters definitely stay with you long after reading.

A thread of grace. We written. Interesting in how she ties it all together. You can feel for the people. It was only a little hard to follow sometime with the names changes. But it come together well.

Wonderful story. I was not aware of the aid Italians provided to native and fugitive Jews during WW11. I was completely enthralled . Each character was so well developed that you felt you really knew them. I couldn't put it down .
