cmh_16 's review for:
The Quality of Silence
by Rosamund Lupton
This story is set in the Alaskan wilderness and is quite suspenseful. Ruby is the young daughter to Matt and Yasmin. Ruby is deaf and my favorite character in the book. Ruby is endearing and brave but also vulnerable, vulnerable in a way that the reader can relate. Yamsin and Ruby take off on a daring adventure in attempts to locate their father/husband. Silence is a recurring theme through out the story, whether it’s the inability to hear, the lack of communication in a relationship or through mother nature scare!
I have loved Lupton’s books but I struggled with parts of Quality of Silence. I loved the story at times and found it too slow at other times. I do love Lupton’s ability to develop characters and her use of words to vividly depict the story. The point of view was hard to follow at times as it told through Ruby and Yasmin’s eyes. It took me a while to get use to this and believe this is why I found the beginning a little too slow.
Overall I would recommend this book as a suspenseful easy read.
