Terror reigns as the city writhes in the grip of revolution. The streets run with blood as thousands lose their heads to the guillotine. Edward Savill, working in London as agent for a wealthy American, receives word that his estranged wife Augusta has been killed in France. She leaves behind ten-year-old Charles, who is brought to England to Charnwood Court, a house in the country leased by a group of emigre refugees. Savill is sent to retrieve the boy, though it proves easier to reach Charnwood than to leave. And only when Savill arrives there does he discover that Charles is mute. The boy has witnessed horrors beyond his years, but what terrible secret haunts him so deeply that he is unable to utter a word? 651 0 $a France $x History $y Revolution, 1789-1799 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mute persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugee children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suspense fiction. 611 27 $a Revolution (France : 1789-1799) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354514 650 7 $a Mute persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031157 650 7 $a Refugee children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092779 650 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139687 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1789 - 1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 5 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210727010943.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091642.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20160727140037.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20151211011133.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20151121011552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13AB7C647C7011E5A2B2AECCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
