Summary | A novel about silence, tinged with the fantastic, that sneaks the brutality of grief into your imagination. Simon and Marie can't seem to have a baby. And so they flee the city for an idyllic village, where things will certainly be better. But the town is gloomy, even hostile-- things haven't been the same since the factory closed down and a broadcast antenna was erected. Now there are no birds singing, and people have started disappearing. |
