The Conduct of Saints

The Nazis have been driven out of Italy in 1945. Few remain, hoping to avoid detection. The children of Rome struggle to survive, Davis’ range is breathtaking. His technique is subtle, but never obscure. The Conduct of Saints captures the time and the place of post-WWII Europe; it is a profoundly atmospheric novel with an unforgettable cast of characters. Once again, Davis’ work commands our attention. —Huffington Post
