Sobre este artículo
New York:: Random House,, (2005.). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a fine dustjacket (abrasion to the bottom edge of one board.). First printing. Long-awaited new book by the author of the thought-provoking science fiction novel 'The Sparrow.' Set in Italy during World War II, and based on actual stories told Russell by the survivors, this is the almost unknown story of how the Italian people hid and sheltered almost all of the Jews in Italy - those who had lived there for generations and those who came seeking sanctuary - from the forced 'removals,' prison camps and death of the Holocaust. SIGNED on the title page. Author's note. 430 pp.
Sinopsis
Set in Italy during the dramatic finale of World War II, this new novel is the first in seven years by the bestselling author of The Sparrow and Children of God.It is September 8, 1943, and fourteen-year-old Claudette Blum is learning Italian with a suitcase in her hand. She and her father are among the thousands of Jewish refugees scrambling over the Alps toward Italy, where they hope to be safe at last, now that the Italians have broken with Germany and made a separate peace with the Allies. The Blums will soon discover that Italy is anything but peaceful, as it becomes overnight an open battleground among the Nazis, the Allies, resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and ordinary Italian civilians trying to survive.Mary Doria Russell sets her first historical novel against this dramatic background, tracing the lives of a handful of fascinating characters. Through them, she tells the little-known but true story of the network of Italian citizens who saved the lives of forty-three thousand Jews during the war's final phase. The result of five years of meticulous research, A Thread of Grace is an ambitious, engrossing novel of ideas, history, and marvelous characters that will please Russell's many fans and earn her even more.From the Hardcover edition.
