The Weight of Silence

Some Words Are Too Heavy to Speak

Set in a small coastal town over the course of one devastating summer, The Weight of Silence follows three people bound together by a tragedy none of them can name. As the season turns, the silence between them grows louder — until it finally breaks.

A masterwork of dramatic fiction that explores grief, guilt, and the unbearable tenderness of human connection.

• Spare, powerful prose that hits like a wave
