My Father's House

MALCOLM FORBES, THE WASHINGTON POST

"Begins with a potent blend of excitement, suspense and intrigue ... The result is a gripping World War II-set drama featuring the unlikeliest of heroes, one whom the reader roots for every step of the way ... Hugely satisfying."

LUCY POPESCU, THE OBSERVER (UK)

"Masterly ... This is a literary thriller of the highest order. The incarnation of O'Flaherty, the Irish Oskar Schindler, is sublime. What often elevates a writer is compassion, and O'Connor has it in spades – paying tribute to the courage of those who resist tyranny. Beautifully crafted, his razor-sharp dialogue is to be savoured, and he employs dark humour to great effect. The plot twists keep on coming until the novel's coda, where a final joyful conceit is revealed."
