"Desperate to save her children from the Nazis, Henry and Helen’s mother takes them to France to hide in a convent disguised as orphans. Visits from a local mime become the children’s one source of joy, especially for Henry, whose traumatic experience has left him a selective mute. But when an informer gives them up, the children are forced to flee yet again and the mime—a not yet famous Marcel Marceau—risks everything to save them." -, from the publisher
