Description
Speak, Silence by Kim Echlin is a powerful and poignant novel about war, loss, suffering, and courage. Eleven years have passed since Gota last saw Kosmos, but she still holds onto the memories of their time together in Paris.
When Gota receives news that Kosmos will be attending a film festival in Sarajevo, she sees an opportunity to reconnect with him and investigate the aftermath of the Bosnian war. However, upon her return, she finds a man and a country transformed beyond recognition. As Gota navigates her complicated feelings for Kosmos, she forms an unexpected bond with Edina, a woman who has been through unimaginable trauma.
Through Gota's journey, Echlin sheds light on the real-life trial that would shape history, exploring what it means to speak out against those who seek to silence you. With masterful prose, this novel weaves together the stories of a resilient sisterhood, creating a heart-wrenching tale of suffering and loss, and a testament to the power of love and courage.
