About this listen
A classic novel set in the siege of Malta 1940-1942 from the best-selling author of The Cruel Sea.
Father Salvatore was a simple, lumbering priest, a Kappillan serving the poor Valetta, when war came out of the blue skies to pound the island to dust.
Now amid the catacombs discovered by a chance bomb, he cared for the flood of homeless, starving, frightened people who sought shelter from the death that fell unceasingly from the sky.
His story, and the story of Malta, is told in superbly graphic pictures of six days during the siege. Each of those days brought forth from the Kappillan a message of inspiration to keep them going - the legendary tales of six mighty events of Malta's history which shone through the centuries and gathered them together in a fervent belief in their survival.

Astoundingly good history telling
I have listened to this book twice now and am in awe of the story telling within the book. I’ll probably listen again because there is so much detail about Malta’s history especially written as from the dreadful years of 1942.

Great book, worth reading
This is a great book that is well written and read.
Many stories in here that my grandparents told me about living in Malta during the war, goes to show us how hard & resilient the Maltese people are
