About this ebook

FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HEAVEN & EARTH GROCERY STORE
'I envy those about to discover Miracle at St. Anna for the first time'
Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry

'Searingly, soaringly beautiful'
Baltimore Sun

Towards the end of World War Two, four soldiers from the Army's Negro 92nd Division find themselves separated from their unit behind enemy lines.

Risking their lives for a country in which they are treated with less respect than the enemy they're fighting, they discover humanity in the small Tuscan village of St. Anna di Stazzema - in the peasants who shelter them, in the unspoken affection of an orphaned child.

Now a major film directed by Spike Lee, Miracle at St. Anna is an unforgettable tale of courage and redemption set in Second World War Italy, from internationally bestselling novelist James McBride.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY BONNIE GARMUS
