Description
Hear No Evil by Sarah Smith is a gripping historical mystery set in 1817 Scotland. In this richly atmospheric tale, a young Deaf woman named Jean Campbell is accused of throwing a child into the River Clyde, and her fate hangs in the balance. As the authorities try to uncover the truth, a talented teacher from the Deaf & Dumb Institution is called in to interpret for them. Through a process of trial and error, he manages to find a way to communicate with Jean, and together they unravel the mystery. Based on a landmark case in Scottish legal history, this book explores the complexities of nineteenth-century Edinburgh and Glasgow. A story of human value and survival, Hear No Evil is a pacey read that breathes life into the past, shedding light on a pivotal moment in Scotland's history when progress was only just beginning.
