'A mother′s silence, a village with a terrible secret, and an Australian woman who travels to Poland to uncover the truth ...
When forensic dentist Halina Shore arrives in Nowa Kalwaria to take part in a war crimes investigation, she finds herself at the centre of a bitter struggle in a community that has been divided by a grim legacy. What she does not realise is that she has also embarked on a confronting personal journey.
Inspired by a true incident that took place in Poland in 1941, Diane Armstrong′s powerful novel is part mystery, part forensic investigation, and a moving and confronting story of love, loss and sacrifice.' (Publisher's blurb)
