Summary: Sent to the Ontario School for the Deaf in Belleville, Grania must learn to live away from her loving family. When Grania falls in love with Jim, a young hearing man from the east coast, her life seems complete, but the First World War soon tears them apart and sweeps him into the worst of experiences - trench warfare. Her depiction of a world where sound exists only in the margins is a singular feat in literary fiction, a place difficult to leave and even harder to forget.
