A remarkable and unforgettable novel about war, the bonds of love, and redemption, from the author of the bestselling 'The Color Of Water'.
'Miracle At St Anna' is the story of four American Negro soldiers, a band of partisans, and an Italian boy who encounter a miracle - though perhaps the true miracle lies in themselves.
It's World War II and the famed African-American Buffalo soldiers of the 92nd Division are fighting a formidable German resistance amid the mountains of Tuscany, ideal terrain for partisan activity. In the province of Lucca, the little village of St Anna di Stazzema is about to become the stage for one of the most brutal massacres carried out by the Nazis in Italy.
Traversing class, race, and geography, 'Miracle At St Anna' is a moving evocation of the cruelty, passion and heroism of war. Above all, it is a hymn to the brotherhood of man and the power to do good that lives in each of us. It reveals a little-known but fascinating moment in history through the eyes and imagination of a gifted writer.
