I am reviewing A Masters of Silence Through Annick Press and Netgalley:
Desperate to save them from the Nazi’s, Henry and Helen’s Mother decides to take them away from their hom in 1940’s Germany and puts them in the care of strangers in France. The two must hide their Jewish identity to pass for Orphans being fostered at a covenent in the foreign land. A local mine visits bringing the children a much needed sense of joy, especially for Henry, whose experience has left him a selective mute.
When an informer gives them up, Henry and Helen once again are forced to flee the Nazi’s but this time the local mime Marcel Marceau risks everything to try and save the children.
