I've finished another book. This one must've been better, you say. And I have to admit that it was. It had a good story-line with a few twists (not too many of course), but I have to admit that at times, some of the conversations that were written or the actions done were a little too fairytale (as in, people wouldn't actually act that way). All in all though, it was a good novel.
Breaking the Silence by Diane Chamberlain is about a woman, who after her father dies, is told to visit an elderly woman she knew nothing about in a nursing home. Her husband is against the idea, and while she is out, commits suicide. Her young daughter is home at the time, and is assumed to have witnessed it. She freaks out, and becomes mute. The therapist she took her daughter to suggests that she contact the child's biological father, and see if perhaps he can become involved in her life as a way to get her to talk again. Not only does this occur, but the woman also continues to visit the elderly woman in order to figure out how her father knew her. What she finds out changes everything she ever knew.
It won't really be a quick read, but it certainly will grasp your attention, so I will still recommend it to you. Until next time, Happy reading!
