Born on the shores of Lake Ontario, Grania O Neill suffers a childhood illness that destroys her hearing. Grania s life without sound is also a life bounded by a powerful family love that tries to protect her from suffering. But when it becomes clear that Grania can no longer thrive among the hearing, her family sends her to the Ontario School for the Deaf. There, protected from the often unforgiving world outside, she learns sign language and speech. And there she meets Jim Lloyd, a hearing man, and the two, in wonderment, begin to create a new emotional vocabulary that encompasses both sound and silence. But a war is raging on the other side of the world. Only two weeks after their wedding, Jim must leave home to serve as a stretcher-bearer on the blood-soaked battlefields of Flanders. During this long and brutal war of attrition, Jim and Grania are pulled to the centre of cataclysmic events that will alter civilisation forever.

This story is set in south-eastern Ontario during World War 1 and before. It begins with the sudden deafening of a five year old girl and chronicles the process of learning to communicate. She is taught by her grandmother to speak audibly. She also goes to a school for the deaf to learn sign language and to get an education. While there, she meets her future husband, Jim (whom she calls Chim), who can hear. They marry and he is sent off to be an ambulance attendant / litter carrier in the war. They correspond over that time. It also follows the course of the war and the things he experienced. It is a little slow moving at times, but very insightful into the world of the deaf and learning to communicate.
