"War thrust them together. Love will tear them apart.
Inspired by a true story...
When the Nazis invade his sleepy Polish town, Mirek swears to keep everyone in his orphanage safe at all costs. Yet, despite his struggles and sacrifices, the war drags him and his children deeper and deeper into its violent nightmare.
With 89 children looking to him for hope, Mirek must do whatever it takes to protect them — no matter how criminal, distasteful, or perilous it may be.
And just when he thinks things can’t get any worse, the arrival of a sadistic SS captain brings unspeakable atrocities to his town — and surprisingly, a glimmer of hope for Mirek to save all those he cares about if only he has the courage to grasp it…
Inspired by a true story of love, bravery, and compassion, A Song of Silence explores history’s darkest hour and how, even in the face of overwhelming evil, one man can become a dazzling beacon of light.
Discover what it means to be human. Discover A Song of Silence."

Oh my goodness! What a book and what a story! Amazing, heartbreaking, gripping and whilst it's not a 'true' story, it has been inspired by real characters and events.
I have read one of Steve's previous books "To Dream of Shadows" and was absolutely blown away and this is no different. I was hooked from the start right up until the end. This is a powerful story that invoked all manner of feelings within me whilst reading; fear, happiness, frustration, anger, horror amongst others; and I was glued to my screen desperate to find out what happens but not wanting it to end because I didn't want to know!!
I was totally immersed and would highly recommend it to others who like to become engrossed in a story whilst having your emotions pulled from pillar to post and I must thank the author for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this heartbreaking but excellent book and I look forward to reading A Breath in the Darkness, Steve's next book.
