The Quiet is Loud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Halifax: Invisible Publishing, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When Freya Tanangco was ten, she dreamed of her mother\u2019s death days before it happened. Freya\u2019s life since has been spent in hiding: from the troubled literary legacy created by her author father, and from the scrutiny of a society that is hostile to vekers\u2014people who, like her, have enhanced mental abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her prophetic dreams take a dangerous turn, Freya finds herself increasingly forced to sacrifice her own anonymity\u2014and the fragile safety that comes with it\u2014in order to protect those around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interwoven with themes of Filipino Canadian and mixed-race identity, fantastical elements from Norse and Filipino mythology, and tarot card symbolism, The Quiet Is Loud <\/em>is an intergenerational tale about the consequences of secrets and what happens when we refuse to let others tell our stories for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
