The Quality of Silence is an elegant and icily unique thriller, you won't read anything like it this year. -- Alison Flood The Observer Like a breath of icy air, this relentlessly tense thriller is also a child's-eye family drama like none other. Not since Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow have I shivered like this. -- Emma Donoghue I loved The Quality of Silence. It was scary, suspenseful and so exquisitely, evocatively written I often found myself shivering as if I were there in Alaska with Ruby and her mother. It was everything you want in a wonderful novel. -- Liane Moriarty - author of The Husband's Secret Masterful pacing, riveting plotting. The Quality of Silence will have your heart thumping.

An elegant, chilling read from a writer who continues to stretch the bounds of suspense. -- William Landay Chilling in every sense. Woman \u0026amp; Home A gripping, twisting tale. Glamour Magazine Sister brought huge success for Rosamund Lupton. The Quality of Silence is just as engrossing, with the same claustrophobic feel. Good Housekeeping The pressure is on to keep creating equally brilliant stories. British author Rosamund Lupton has done just that with new novel The Quality of Silence. Red magazine A forbidding Alaskan winter is the setting for this ambitious and imaginative novel ...

Daily Mail This is a beautifully written thriller and the way Lupton, author of the bestselling Sister, uses the tundra as a metaphor for both grief and faith is stunning. The voice of Ruby, who is profoundly deaf, and her compassionate exploration of a life without sound, only adds to the richness of the book. The Press \u0026amp; Journal The Quality of Silence is a vivid and elegant thriller with great heart in its chilling narrative. -- Renee Knight, author of Disclaimer The story is told with Lupton's deft characterisation and is an engaging read Daily Express A thrilling Alaskan adventure...The Quality of Silence is a sophisticated thriller which brilliantly evokes the sublime and terrifying landscape of Alaska The Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884017430871,"sku":"9780349408156","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780349408156.jpg?v=1722530058","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-quality-of-silence-9780349408156","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
