François, an up-and-coming reporter, is caught up in a volatile love affair. And Hélène, their younger sister, strives to make her own way as a journalist, but as a woman in a man's world, she faces extraordinary challenges as she fights to expose a vast industrial scandal. Dark and compelling, witty and vivid, and filled with surprising reversals and cliffhangers, Silence and Fury is the story of one remarkable family against the backdrop of France during one of its most thrilling and volatile periods"-- Provided by publisher.
