Everything My Mother Taught Me by Alice Hoffman

4.0

As I don’t do enough research before I read anything, I didn’t realize this was a short story. To my surprise I finished it quicker than I started. I thought the characters were well established and I felt like the it really pulled me into the life of a girl that is mute by choice. The interactions she had with adults were fascinating because she was seen as an adult in many ways. I guess silence is a sign of maturity in some aspects. I don’t think these are spoilers but I marked it just in case
