Produktinformationen zu „Rest Is Silence “
As the adults sit down to gossip over a long wedding lunch and the rest of the children rush off to play, a young boy slips out of sight beneath the table. Tommy sets his MP3 player to record the voices chattering above him. But then the conversation turns to his mother's death and he overhears something he was never meant to know: that she didn't die of an illness, but took her own life. Confused and hurt, Tommy keeps what he has learned to himself and begins his own secret investigation into what really happened.

Rezension zu „Rest Is Silence “
As Carla Guelfenbein demonstrates in this intricately woven novel, the pursuit of individual fulfilment and happiness can lead ineluctably to tragedy. Subtle, clearsighted, and compassionate. - J M Coetzee A beautiful novel - Grazia From foreboding beginnings, The Rest is Silence progresses to a tragic climax ... a bleakly emotional novel. - *** Tina Jackson, Metro [Written] with a refreshingly guileless passion... Guelfenbein is a steely truth-teller. - Adrian Turpin, Financial Times In Guelfenbein's tender story, the unravelling of memories is a potent force... but as well as examining the role of memory in dealing with loss, The Rest is Silence is also about the redemptive power of love. - Lucy Popescu, Independent
