Description
Yaara Shehori's debut novel Aquarium is a thought-provoking exploration of storytelling and identity. In this striking tale, two sisters, Lili and Dori Ackerman, navigate the complexities of their deaf world, where family and community are defined by an alternative way of life. Living in a universe of their own creation, the girls grow up semi-feral, surrounded by the sounds of the hearing world they're trying to escape. Their father's words - "Deafness is no disability, but an alternative way of life" - shape their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. But when a devastating secret is revealed, the cracks that begin to form in their world will have far-reaching consequences. As Lili writes down the facts, her sister Dori follows, united against a hostile and alien world. Will they find a way to relearn how to live and tell their own stories, or will the secrets of their past tear them apart?
