A fifty-year silence : love, war and a ruined house in France

Mouillot, Miranda Richmond2015
Books, Manuscripts
In 1948, after surviving World War II by escaping Nazi-occupied France for refugee camps in Switzerland, the author's grandparents, Anna and Armand, bought an old stone house in a remote, picturesque village in the South of France. Five years later, Anna packed her bags and walked out on Armand, taking the typewriter and their children. The two never saw or spoke to each other again, never remarried and never revealed what had divided them forever. 'A Fifty-Year Silence' is a heart-breaking, uplifting love story spanning two continents and three generations.
