2014 Winner - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award - General Fiction

When Margie Bauer joins the Army Nurse Corps in 1941, she is delighted to be assigned to Manila - the Pearl of the Orient. Though rumors of war circulate, she feels safe - the island is fortified, the airbases are ample, and the Filipino troops are well-trained.

But on December 8, 1941, her dreamworld shatters. Captured by the invading Japanese, Margie ends up interned at Santa Tomas, an infamous prison camp. There, for the next three years, while enduring brutality and starvation, her bravery, resourcefulness, and faith are tested and her life forever changed.

At once an epic tale of a nation at war and the deeply personal story of one woman's journey through hell, A Pledge of Silence vividly illustrates the sacrifices the Greatest Generation made for their country, and the price they continued to pay long after the war was over.

Poor narration

Terrible narrator. Great story but hard to listen to with her ridiculous made up voices for the characters. The accents she tried to use for different characters were like nails on a chalk board. I’ll have to finish book in written form

good

the story was predictable but enjoyable nonetheless. paints a vivid image WWII and it's horrors.

Great book!!

This was a great Audio. Sometimes when you think you got it pretty tough strap your boots up and realize you don’t have it to bad at all!! Brought some tears to my eyes thank you very much for the experience Doug.

Loved it!

This was a wonderful book. The insights to PTSD were spot on and the story was informing and interesting. I would highly recommend this book! It's in my top five.

Good read for WWII stories

Really like stories set in this time period, and this one was set not in Europe, but in the Japanese area of the war. Sometimes performed a bit overly dramatically, but overall enjoyable.
