Miracle at Sant'Anna - Tapa dura

'Stunning...Incandescent prose which at once marks up a new voice and calls up Tennessee Williams, Isaac Bashevis Singer and streetwise black America rolled into one' - Financial Times on The Color of Water; 'An extraordinary story, beautifully told' - Jewish Chronicle on The Color of Water; 'A wonderfully evocative, moving book' - Literary Review

Based on the historical incident of an unspeakable massacre at the site of Sant'Anna Di Stazzema, a small village in Tuscany, and on the experiences of the famed Buffalo soldiers from the 92nd Division in Italy during World War II, Miracle at Sant'Anna is a singular evocation of war, cruelty, passion, and heroism. It 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. Traversing class, race, and geography, Miracle at Sant'Anna is above all a hymn to the brotherhood of man and the power to do good that lives in each of us.
