Set in the extreme landscape of Alaska, THE QUALITY OF SILENCE follows the story of Yasmin and her deaf daughter Ruby. Yasmin arrives in Alaska to be told her husband, Matt, is dead, the victim of a catastrophic accident. Yasmin, unable to accept this as truth, sets out into the frozen winter landscape, taking Ruby with her in search of answers. But as a storm closes in, Yasmin realises that a very human danger may be keeping pace with them. And with no one else on the road to help, they must keep moving, alone and terrified, through an endless Alaskan night.
In a story that explores the very limits of human resilience, The Quality of Silence is as much about a mother learning to hear her deaf daughter as it is about their journey across the vastness of Alaska, and proves, once again, that Rosamund Lupton is a storyteller of class and elegance.

Boekbeschrijving
De Britse Yasmin en haar dove dochter Ruby ondernemen een wanhopige tocht door de eeuwige nacht van het poolgebied. Na hun aankomst in Alaska krijgt Yasmin te horen dat haar man Matt is omgekomen bij een ramp in het verre noorden. Yasmin kan dit niet geloven en trekt met Ruby door het barre winterlandschap, op zoek naar antwoorden.
Terwijl ze schuilen voor een dodelijke sneeuwstorm, realiseert Yasmin zich dat ze ook bedreigd worden door menselijk gevaar. Met niemand anders op de weg die hulp kan bieden, trekken ze verder naar het noorden; alleen en doodsbang, door de extreme kou van de eindeloze poolnacht.
