A door slammed and the unmistakable sound of boots came crashing up the hall. Liese held her little daughter’s hand so tightly, the tiny fingers had turned purple. The SS officer’s hand was at Liese’s throat before she saw him move. "I can kill you easily, then I can kill your daughter." He relaxed his grip a little. "Or perhaps I could kill her first?" England, 40 years later. When Karen Cartwright is unexpectedly called home to nurse her ailing father, she goes with a heavy heart.

1914. For Paul, with love. Jewish silversmith Johann Blumenthal engraved those words on his most exquisite creation, a singing filigree bird inside a tiny ornamented box. He crafted this treasure for his young son before leaving to fight in a terrible war to honor his beloved country - a country that would soon turn against his own family. A half century later, Londoner Lilian Morrison inherits the box after the death of her parents. Though the silver is tarnished and dented, this much-loved treasure is also a link to an astonishing past.

Lilian Morrison has one memento of her beloved sister, Emma: a battered silver music box.

Now Lilian is compelled to investigate Emma’s final days after the girls were shipped to separate foster families in Britain and the time before Emma was killed in the London Blitz.

Description
2014 Winner - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award - General Fiction
When Margie Bauer joins the Army Nurse Corps in 1941, she is delighted to be assigned to Manila - the Pearl of the Orient. Though rumors of war circulate, she feels safe - the island is fortified, the airbases are ample, and the Filipino troops are well-trained.
But on December 8, 1941, her dreamworld shatters. Captured by the invading Japanese, Margie ends up interned at Santa Tomas, an infamous prison camp. There, for the next three years, while enduring brutality and starvation, her bravery, resourcefulness, and faith are tested and her life forever changed.
At once an epic tale of a nation at war and the deeply personal story of one woman's journey through hell, A Pledge of Silence vividly illustrates the sacrifices the Greatest Generation made for their country, and the price they continued to pay long after the war was over.

You won't be disappointed!
This is not the type of book I read. I got tired, quite a while ago, with boring romances, and have turned immediately to mysteries when looking for a book. I was ready for something different this time, so started skimming through all of them. I can't remember what exactly caught my eye, but I'm so glad this book did. Once I started reading it, and listening to it while in the car, I couldn't stop. Very well written and narrated!

Poor narration
Terrible narrator. Great story but hard to listen to with her ridiculous made up voices for the characters. The accents she tried to use for different characters were like nails on a chalk board. I’ll have to finish book in written form

Highly recommend it
This was a well-done audiobook. I loved the story. Though I've read a lot of WWII stories, I've not read many (if any) set in the Pacific Theater and definitely not any about army nurses. I liked that the story spanned more than just the war years.

Wonderful story about a WW2 nurse!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about a nurse in the Philippines during WW2. This book talks about the effects the war has on her and her family and friends. I also enjoyed the narration of this fascinating story.
What did you like best about this story?
The story of the nurse before, during, and after the war is the best part. Plus, I like the ending of the historical fiction novel and found it very satisfying throughout!
What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?
Excellent performance!

This narrator portrays women as weak & frantic.
I tried to like this book because the story is interesting but the narrator's panicked, breathy interpretation of female characters is too degrading. Whenever a woman is in a challenging situation the narrator blows out the most dramatic and helpless voice she can muster. She has a nice voice for the main narration of the story but her over-acting of the characters is distracting. This is an audio book. When I read a book I do imagine a small change in voice for characters but she's trying to turn it in to a soap opera. Her deep male characters are disturbing. She tries too hard and it turns out offensive. I've listened to audio books recorded by famous actors/actresses that do not over-act this way. I wonder if the writer intended to have a breathy, weak, pathetic female antagonist, I doubt it. From now on, I will avoid all books with this narrator. It prevents the listener from appreciating the story when she pushes air out of her lungs harshly to get that helpless breathy tone. I just want to stop the audio so she can catch her breath.
