The Kappillan of Malta (1973) Nicholas Monsarrat gives an account of the siege of Malta from June 1940 to August 1942 as experienced by the fictional Catholic priest Father Salvatore. The novel is interspersed with brief episodes from other periods of Maltese history. Thomas Pynchon's 1963 debut novel V. features a chapter devoted to life during the siege of Malta. In his 2016 novel Everyone Brave is Forgiven, Chris Cleave presents the misery and horror of the siege through the eyes of British officers whose experiences are loosely based on those of his grandfather David Hill, who served in the Royal Artillery.
