Review Quotes: "As Maitland seeks to both lose and find herself in silence, she articulates a remarkably graceful and penetrating response to that mysterious and essential force." --Booklist (starred review)

"A timely and alluring exploration of the pleasures and powers of silence." --Tim Parks, author of A Season with Verona
