The Other Side of Silence: A Novel
Author(s): Pauline Schokman
A gripping, emotionally charged drama unfolding over a tumultuous week for Anna Mason, a Melbourne doctor: her newborn nephew's life hangs in the balance, her parents meet after years of rage and silence, and Anna's own heartbreak can no longer be denied.Moving, complex, but ultimately life-affirming, this book explores what happens when families are silent for generations about painful emotional truths and how lives can change when the truth is finally spoken.
This is a book about many things; difficult families, grief, timing and hope—it's also very Melbourne!
—Pauline Schokman (author)
