I’ve always been fascinated by WWII Nazi Germany. How did this monster known as Hitler gain the
support he needed to inflict such horrific acts on a portion of the population
of his people? This was probably the
largest reason that I picked up Krista K. Hatch’s Silent No More.
The beginning of the book is extremely intriguing. A father is trying to make choices to save his
family from the government that is rising to power. Then we are introduced to a modern day
character who vacations to Munich in present day times and is attacked by the roommate
of a man she’s just met over spite and jealousy that was truly
non-representative of the facts surrounding them.
Wounded, Elsie falls into a comma and travels back in time
with the young man, Matthias, who has no obvious wounds, to a world where
Hitler reigns supreme. Though Matthias has retained all of his
memories, Elsie has not. When Matthias
shares with her their plight she is, understandably, afraid and confused.
The two find help in the form of a band of individuals,
including Hans and Sophie Scholl. As
they get to know these young people, and witness the unfolding of their campaign,
they place themselves in danger to help out.
All in all I really enjoyed this book. Enough so that I found it hard to put
down. The family ties and the interwoven
love story made for a very enjoyable read.
