The Silence of the Sea. I have read all the author’s previous novels and enjoyed them. This is my least favorite. It was tediously long and never did grab me. I thought it was depressing throughout and especially disliked the ending. I’ll watch for the author’s next novel and hope it is more enjoyable.
I have really enjoyed these novels and the main character, Thora. Can’t wait for the next one to be translated!
