Kertzer skillfully weaves the larger historical, social, religious, and cultural forces at work into the story, without allowing these elements to overwhelm his protagonists....Kertzer's challenging thesis is that the Mortara case became the catalyst for the end of papal power in Italy....A moving, dramatic study of the clash between sacred and secular.
Kertzer has unearthed an evocative and unjustly forgotten episode of history, and tells a story that, like an artful work of fiction (and unlike many works of history) isn't about only one topic or theory, but about many things all at once.
It makes a fascinating story, well told, and readers can decide for themselves the rights and wrongs of it.
