A review by mirel
The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton

3.0

The book was interesting, but I found it hard to read. The language itself was beautiful, but there were frequent shifts both in speakers and in time frame making it hard to figure out who exactly was speaking and whether or not the story had shifted again in time. I was constantly rereading to try and figure out who was speaking and where we were in the story: in the present? In the past? I was also a little lost by the "fracking" terminology.

Other than that, the book built up its tension nicely, and there were beautiful descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness and wildlife. I also think that Ms Lupton did a wonderful job of portraying the silent but rich world of Ruby and her relationships with both her father and mother.
