Silence is a Sense is a novel that cuts brutally and unflinchingly to the heart of trauma. The characters were raw and I loved the way that AlAmmar questioned the reliabilty of memory and how that can manifest to create a state of self denial.
This was very much a character driven story, and I loved seeing the peripheral characters through the eyes of the protagonist, capturing slice of life of those characters alongside her inner turmoil and tradgedies.
The writting in this was very lyrical and thought provoking, but at the same time compelled the reader forwards, a rare mix in my opinion.
A very current novel looking at immigration, regilion, PTSD and relationships. People who enjoyed The Beekeeper of Aleppo will love this book. Highly recommend.
