'Extraordinary writing... silk, secrets and silence woven into a gleaming Gothic web. What a treat' ANNA MAZZOLA

'I loved it. A delicately woven novel with an utterly original premise, it ensnared me from the very first page' EMILIA HART

'I loved Bridget Collins' last two novels so much I was almost nervous to read this one in case it didn't live up to my feverish expectations. I was wrong: in The Silence Factory she has created another world that exists on the edge of time and magic. Epic in scope and rich at sentence level, this is storytelling at its most immersive' ERIN KELLY

'Brilliantly conceived and complex' THE BOOKSELLER
