Parts of this story kept me on the edge of my seat!!!
Mary is a young Deaf girl living in the town of Chilmark on Martha’s Vineyard in the early 19th century. She is living with guilt thinking that her brother’s death is her fault.
A young man comes to her town to study why there is such a large number of Deaf residents on the island, but makes his disdain for them very clear. He seems mostly harmless at first, but this turns out to not be the case at all.
It was interesting to read the backstory about the residents of Martha’s Vineyard and the origins of there being so many Deaf residents. There was also a side plot about a Wampanoag man (and his family) who works for Mary’s father, but the family was very minimally mentioned throughout the story.
