A story of loss, hope and redemption against impossible odds…

The Globe & Mail Bestseller

'Alward tells this story of the wounded survivors and the people who cared for them with affecting grace' Toronto Star

1917. Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Nora Crowell wants more than her sister’s life as a wife and mother. As WWI rages across the Atlantic, she becomes a lieutenant in the Canadian Army Nursing Corps. But trouble is looming and it won’t be long before the truth comes to light.

Having lost her beloved husband in the trenches and with no-one else to turn to, Charlotte Campbell now lives with his haughty relations who treat her like the help. It is baby Aileen, the joy and light of her life, who spurs her to dream of a better life.

When tragedy strikes in Halifax Harbour, nothing for these two women will ever be the same again. Their paths will cross in the most unexpected way, trailing both heartbreak and joy its wake…

Heartwarming story of strength, and resilience.

Enjoyed the depth of the personalities of the Children through the story. Friends coming together as family during times of loss on the home front during war.

The horror of the explosion, the resilience of the people

Interesting premise

Fascinating lives of two women. Wish only the author had a better knowledge of infant development.

Tender and True

Get your heartstrings ready! This engaging book about women who lived through the disaster of Halifax delivered far more than I expected. Tender and true, WHEN THE WORLD FELL SILENT taught me about this Canadian disaster but focused on the lives of those who survived. In fact, it made me feel like I’d lived through the events, even as it kept me on edge, wondering what would happen to our heroines and the children. Deeply felt in the vein of Lisa Wingate. Can’t wait for more historical fiction by this author.

story about an explosion

Mushy, preachy, but Nora does not care about Charlotte's apparent suicide. As an adoptive parent, I resented that.
