Daughters of Silence is surprisingly similar to another book I read this year, [b:Because I Have Loved and Hidden It|6675816|Because I Have Loved and Hidden It|Elise Moser|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|6870907], in that the story centers around women grappling with the untimely deaths of their mothers and the secret sisters their deaths unearthed.

This book was as beautiful as it was heartrending; the memories and confusion of Dessie, the protagonist, pull you in so that you're spending the days she's stranded in Ethiopia with her.
