Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Silent Legion
Babies are ushered into the grimy brick houses from that vague place where new souls wait with a Swish! Boom! Ting-ting! And the high, sudden O-oh! Of an engine whistle over the wall. And it is thus the tired souls go out.
But those who are actually living there do not hear these sounds at all unless they are ill, or very unhappy, or very tired; then they feel a little forlorn, like people standing alone by the sea at evening with the drawing back of the waves in their ears.
