This is Zoje Stage's first novel and it was wonderful! It was very engaging and hard to put down. The story takes place in Pittsburgh and is about the relationships of a husband, wife and daughter. Alex and Suzette are the parents of seven year old Hannah. Suzette is a stay-at-home mother trying to raise their daughter, Hannah. Hannah cannot or will not speak and her parents have never heard her speak even one word. Hannah is a very intelligent girl that is being home schooled because her behavior is a problem in the many schools her parents have tried. Suzette sees a more sinister side of Hannah that Hannah never shows her father. Hannah adores her father, but does not like her mother. The book is told from the perspective of Suzette and Hannah in alternating chapters. The ending could very well lend itself to a follow up book.
