Latest reviews

  • The Bishop’s Villa illuminates a dark slice of Italian history. Naspini exposes the brutality of the prison camp and highlights the immense courage of the Resistance fighters. Fans of The Book Thief and All the Light We Cannot See will be moved by the bravery and humanity shared among prisoners, civilians, and sympathizers.”
