A deftly wrought suspense novel from a remarkable new literary talent. Lyn Yeowart's work plumes themes of inherited violence, denial and atonement.
J P Pomare, author of Call Me Evie
A cracking thriller with heart. It intrigues, it twists and turns, it deftly combines the muddy domestic details of life on a Victorian farm with a black, Gothic sensibility of lies and violence and the heartbreaking fantasy world of a young child.
Jane Sullivan
A heartbreaking, terrifying and stunningly accomplished novel that had me holding my breath. Yeowart instantly pulled me into the life of a rural family dominated by an angry, insecure despot from its unnerving beginnings to its shocking end.
Kirsten Alexander, author of Half Moon Lake and Riptides
An ingenious form of storytelling archaeology: down through layers of family trauma, the truths are finally brought to light.
Jock Serong, bestselling author of The Rules of Backyard Cricket
Intense, intricate, emotionally devastating. This is proper Australian gothica.
Liam Pieper, bestselling author of The Toy Maker and Sweetness and Light
Steeped in atmosphere and with taut, intricate plotting, The Silent Listener, contrary to its title, had me audibly gasping throughout.
Benjamin Stevenson, author of Greenlight and Either Side of Midnight
