Silence : Film tie-in - Thryft

Spiritual crisis in a land of religious persecution.

Silence is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of faith and perseverance amidst religious persecution. It offers a glimpse into Japan's history during the 1640s and delves into the struggle of a Jesuit priest to stay true to his beliefs in the face of torture and suffering. The book's poignant narrative and introspective tone make it a worthwhile read for those interested in existential and spiritual exploration.
