Plot:
Hastings, East Sussex, 19 January 1999. They have only ten years, Charlene Lunnon and Lisa Hoodless, when one morning they are abducted in the street while going to school. For three interminable days remain segregated in a squalid apartment, repeatedly raped, forced al silenzio e sottoposte alla follia di una mente perversa. Fino a quando accade il miracolo: la polizia fa irruzione nel palazzo e il rapitore, un pedofilo appena uscito di prigione, viene arrestato. Ma la libertà non è la fine dello strazio: negli anni successivi le due ragazze dovranno lottare contro il peso insostenibile dei ricordi per ricominciare una vita normale. E per provare a ricucire la loro grande amicizia, distrutta da un orrore indicibile. Scritta con lucidità e coraggio, Le bambine silenziose è la storia vera di un orribile sequestro e della dura lotta per ritornare, nonostante tutto, a vivere.
