Relation Concering Books Legacy of Silence

In Legacy of Silence, New York Times bestselling author Belva Plain creates an unforgettable story of a remarkable family—and a deception that reaches across continents, oceans, and generations.
 
Caroline Hartzinger flees wartime Europe with a shattered life and a devastating secret. Pregnant and unwed, she arrives in America in 1939. Joel Hirsch offers marriage and respectability, hoping one day to earn her love, if not the passion she feels for a man whose memory still haunts them both. With Joel, Caroline builds a new life, determined to bury the past—until her daughter Eve brings Caroline’s carefully crafted world crashing down again, driven by a rage to learn the truth.
 
Now it is Eve’s secret, a legacy that taints her life and puts generations at risk. But with it comes a gift—a new sister, young enough to be her own daughter, who offers hope, then a truth that will finally break the hold of the past.

Crit Containing Books Legacy of Silence

Loved this bookI couldn't put the book down. It was both happy and sad! The women in it were woven like a thread all through the book. It had a surprise ending!

I havent read Belva Plain in a while. This book makes me wonder why!I thought I was going to read another World War II historical novel but this book is so much more, telling the story, not that of survivors of the holocaust, but that of survivors of two girls who escaped it. What ups and downs in their lives in America. The book was long but I wish the ending had been fleshed out a little more but its still absolutely a great book.

I have read most of Belva Plain's work and have never been disappointed. She writes historical fiction with great clarity and accuracy. This reminded me that we really need to find out for ourselves about our ancestors, because, even our parents can be misled by their experience and may not have the whole story, and to have bitterness towards an ancestor will only hurt us. Search and find the real story for yourself and then forgive and forget what you don't understand.

first Belva Plain, loved it. one of my mother's favorite authors. Interesting reading. very easy to read and follow, but twists and turns at every page. Surprise endings, which I love. Am going to add her to my list of reading to do. It starts of over seas, and a family running from Hitler and the war. Ends in America, with a kind of happy ending, but ties up all the pieces nicely. Loved it.

Beautiful story of a family that had hardships, Love and secrets. Girl gets pregnant and was told the father was a nazi and will go with her to America to be married . She goes to America with her step sister Lore. Germany is rounding up all the Jews and her father was a Jew, it was hard for them to leave could not get the proper paperwork. She has her little girl Eve and marries a great man. Caroline and her husband start a business bakery and expand to 6 shops. They have a little girl now



Belva Plain is always a good read.
