As I read “Silent Fortune” I was reminded of several other movies and books. Among them are the Jerry Lewis movie “Visit to a Small Planet” where he wants to play with earthlings, “Yellow Submarine” the movie and “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. There are also lyrics to songs the author has written that made me think of several Beatle’s songs among them, “I am the Walrus.” Silent Land is a place above the clouds where the only people who live there are mimes. Fortune is one of them but she is a bit different. She is not content to live in the world of the silent people. She wants more in her life and she leaves Silent Land to search for a place where there is sound. Her encounters with other beings make the story very interesting. There are many concepts that run through “Silent Fortune” that make it a delightful novel to read for all ages.
