"Giardina manages the extremely difficult task of giving a known story genuine tension and spiritual resonance."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"High drama…Stirring adventure…To find a historical figure like Dietrich Bonhoeffer packaged in what is essentially a moral thriller is a surprising joy."
Boston Globe
"[Giardina] illuminates the web of moral decisions within which we all exist. A compelling, frightening, yet beautiful novel, written with passion, understanding, and eloquence.
