I went into Unspoken Words a bit blind, curious as to what the story would be. What I discovered was a well written piece that captured the heart break – and hope – of a dark time in history.
Ms Ryan took a stereotype that most people would say is bad or evil and showed how an average boy could be pulled into that world. I appreciated the fact that she painted a realistic picture of Charlie and his experiences both before and during WWII.
Getting to know modern day Charlie and see his experiences via flashbacks was sometimes uncomfortable, but it was also enlightening and I found myself rooting for him to find a happy ending. Charlie and his friend Claude showed a side of people that I have frequently wondered and hoped existed, people trapped between what they know is right and protecting their families.
It was sweet to see his devotion to Amelia and the idea that his purpose was to accomplish one thing. Β Reading this book makes me want to go back and read the two books that come before. I am grateful to Ms Ryan for tackling a potentially difficult topic with grace and kindness.

Synopsis
βWomen and children to the right. Men, to the left,β I once said.
From 1942 to 1944 I was what some called a Jew killer. Though, I have never hurt a soul, I was responsible for separating Jewish families, ensuring they would never see each other again. Those who were sick, were sent to their death … by me because I was forced to follow the enemy. The war stole my right of beliefs, my goals for a future, my left arm, and the love of my life. I saved Amelia β¦ β¦ then I lost her. And after more than seventy years, Iβm told sheβs alive and asking for me. Will love be enough to overcome the silence of more than seven decades?
