'I envy those about to discover Miracle at St. Anna for the first time'
Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry

'Searingly, soaringly beautiful'
Baltimore Sun

Towards the end of World War Two, four soldiers from the Army's Negro 92nd Division find themselves separated from their unit behind enemy lines.

Risking their lives for a country in which they are treated with less respect than the enemy they're fighting, they discover humanity in the small Tuscan village of St. Anna di Stazzema - in the peasants who shelter them, in the unspoken affection of an orphaned child.

Now a major film directed by Spike Lee, Miracle at St. Anna is an unforgettable tale of courage and redemption set in Second World War Italy, from internationally bestselling novelist James McBride.

Recenzii

McBride creates an intricate mosaic of narratives that ultimately becomes about betrayal and the complex moral landscape of war
Searingly, soaringly beautiful . . . The book's central theme, its essence, is a celebration of the human capacity for love
A haunting meditation on faith that is also a crack military thriller
An outstanding novel about World War II inspired by the famous Buffalo Soldiers . . . so descriptive that I feel as though I'm an eyewitness to everything that happens emotionally on the frontline
A miracle in its own right . . . McBride's prose is stunning. His ability to bring to life an actual historical event (the massacre at St. Anna and the famed Buffalo Soldiers of the 92nd Division) is a gift
