A review by toniak
The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker

5.0

Loved it! I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the first one, but it was definitely worth the wait.

I liked the theme of how silence and the things left unsaid can destroy relationships- between friends, between lovers, between parent and child. I don't think I've seen this tackled in a book before, but I thought it was so well done. After all, a book is about words, and she was writing about their absence.
