Book Review of A Thread of Grace

A Thread of Grace
reviewed on


Very well written, but graphic portrayal of events taking place in Northwestern Italy from 1943-1945. It portrays the unimaginable in a way that draws you in and connects you so that the inevitable is that much more real. I don't know why I wasn't expecting that, but oh my that made the end so difficult. This is not a feel good book, but an excellent, accurate and well researched historical fiction novel. I wasn't prepared for that, but am very glad I read it. She does such a very good job of connecting you to the characters, and portraying the awful choices so many had to make for the sake of others.
