(Alison Flood\nThe Observer (thriller of the month))\n\nLike a breath of icy air, this relentlessly tense thriller is also a child's-eye family drama like none other. Not since\nMiss Smilla's Feeling for Snow have I shivered like this. (Emma Donoghue)\n\nI loved\nThe Quality of Silence. It was scary, suspenseful and so exquisitely, evocatively written I often found myself shivering as if I were there in Alaska with Ruby and her mother. It was everything you want in a wonderful novel. (Liane Moriarty - author of The Husband's Secret)\n\nMasterful pacing, riveting plotting.\nThe Quality of Silence will have your heart thumping. Absolutely gripping. (Louise Penny)\n\nWith\nThe Quality of Silence, Rosamund Lupton brings her sophisticated brand of suspense to a setting that might have attracted Jack London: the remote frontier of northern Alaska. An elegant, chilling read from a writer who continues to stretch the bounds of suspense. (William Landay)\n\nChilling in every sense. (\nWoman \u0026amp; Home)\n\nA gripping, twisting tale. (\nGlamour Magazine)\n\n\nSister brought huge success for Rosamund Lupton.\nThe Quality of Silence is just as engrossing, with the same claustrophobic feel. (\nGood Housekeeping)\n\nThe pressure is on to keep creating equally brilliant stories. British author Rosamund Lupton has done just that with new novel\nThe Quality of Silence. (\nRed magazine)\n\nA forbidding Alaskan winter is the setting for this ambitious and imaginative novel . . . Narrated in part, by Ruby, who is a delightfully realized character, (her deafness is treated with great sensitivity), the landscape, wildlife and bitter climate of Alaska are powerfully drawn. Chilling in every sense, you won't want to step away from this story. (\nSunday Mirror)\n      Book Description      \nMuch-anticipated new novel from\nSunday Times and\nNew York Times bestselling author Rosamund Lupton\n      From the Inside Flap      \nThe cold was shocking in its violence. She'd thought the colour of cold was white, like snow, or blue perhaps, like on a cold tap, but cold like this was conceived in a place without daylight and was black, the absence of all light and colour. \nSomewhere out there was Matt. \nShe yelled his name into the dark as loudly as she could. But although her mouth formed the shapes to make the sound and her lungs forced his name into a scream, the sound was obliterated by the wind so that she didn't know if she'd made any sound at all.\n      From the Back Cover      \nOn 24th November Yasmin and her deaf daughter Ruby arrive in Alaska.\nWithin hours they are driving alone across a frozen wilderness\nWhere nothing grows\nWhere no one lives\nWhere tears freeze \nAnd night will last for another 54 days.\nThey are looking for Ruby's father.\nTravelling deeper into a silent land.\nThey still cannot find him.\nAnd someone is watching them in the dark.\n      About the Author      \nRosamund Lupton is the author of\nSister, a\nSunday Times and\nNew York Times bestseller and a bestseller in Europe.
