Helpful Score: 3

This eloquent novel is both emotional powerful and intellectually engaging. In a flawless fusion of treatment and theme, Silence tells the story of a seventeenth-century Portuguese priest in Japan during the intense persecution of Japanese Christians. Characters are able to touch on archetypes without losing the complexity and depth that makes them believably human.
