The thrust of this memoir, however, is Ms. Rosner's journey of investigating the fate of her deaf relatives, long dead. Most were born and lived in Eastern Europe, in a Jewish shtetl. When her research into their whereabouts failed to satisfy her quest, she connected the dots of what she knew and fictionalized their lives. With imagination and sweeping prose, their stories are intertwined throughout the tale of the Rosners' victory over the obstacles nature put on their daughters' path to integrate into the speaking world. Modern technology and society's perception have made huge strides in the over one century since deaf people were naturally also mute and were considered feeble-minded, outcast from society, and forever locked in the jail of their silent worlds.
It hurts to think that even today, without Ms. Rosner's and her husband's education, geographical mobility, financial resources, pedagogical opportunities, modern technology and access to top medical services, millions of deaf children do not thrive as Sophia and Juliet. For millions of deaf children, life is no different than the life of Rosner's ancestors in the shtetl, which she describes so deftly.
