The Quality of Silence

by Rosamund Lupton

Review by Angie Andre

In a freezing remote part of Alaska astrophysicist, Yasmin and her 10 year old deaf daughter, Ruby are on a mission. Despite betrayal, fear, and deathly cold weather Yasmin is determined to find her husband, Matt. There has been terrible accident and an entire village in Northern Alaska has been obliterated. Yasmin and Ruby brave the tundra in search of their missing Matt. As they encounter darkness they realize someone is trying to stop them from finding Matt and learning the truth.

This is a story about true love, determination, and finding courage you never knew you had deep inside you. It is a fast paced story that beautifully shows the deep love of a wife, husband and daughter.
