Description

<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Paula Zsiray<br /></strong><strong>Past President, Utah Educational Library Media Association</strong></p><p></p> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">When an American-born Japanese family and a native-born German family become friends, prejudice surrounds them both. The indignities of forced detention and the horrors of war are hard to escape. This is the basis for a thought-provoking exploration of a small Oregon farming community in the 1940s. Well-researched, this novel will touch your heart.<br />_______________<br /><br /></span><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Cindy Bonner, Author of<em> Lily and Right From Wrong</em></span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><br /><br /><em>Echoes of Silence</em> is an insightful novel of courage, compassion, but above all, it is about the complex choices we all make without realizing the effect on future generations. Nadene R. Carter writes with specific honesty and appealing tenderness about a time, a place, and the family, yet also about a larger subject that we, as a Nation, cannot afford to forget.</span><br />______________<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Midwest Review, <em>Oregon, WI</em></span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><br /><br /> Set during World War II, <em>Echoes of Silence</em> by Nadene R. Carter is an impressively written historical novel that follows several people, all of whom are a kind of ‘prisoner of war’ in one manner or another. One is enslaved by his own past; a teenaged Japanese girl is interned along with thousands of other Japanese-Americans who have committed no crime; and yet another is held fast by his own hatred. A profound and sweeping tale of human strengths and failings, offering unique perspectives into their individual plights when Japanese-Americans were held captive by their own nation—throughout the years both during and after the war.<br /></span>
