When Sam Hawthorne, a twenty-five-year-old U.S. Army captain,
arrives at the princely state of Rudrakot in May of 1942, it is on
a personal quest to find his missing brother. But Sam's mission is
soon threatened by the unlikeliest of sources -- he falls
hopelessly in love with Mila, daughter of the local political
agent. And Mila, unexpectedly attracted to Sam, finds herself torn
between loyalty to her family and the man she loves.
A sweeping and poignant story of forbidden love, "The Splendor
of Silence" opens twenty-one years later with Olivia, Sam's
daughter, receiving a trunk of treasures from India, along with an
anonymous letter that finally fills the silences of her childhood.
She finally learns the heartrending story of her parents'
passionate and enduring love affair -- throwing them in the path of
racial prejudice, nationalist intrigue, and the explosive
circumstances of a country on the brink of independence from
British rule.
