ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- For a debut novel, this is an assured and eloquent read. It packs a lot into what might seem a slight premise. Cate has died, and knows it, but not how, or when. She watches her family as they grieve, and ultimately, heal. Gently wise.Lindy Jones
Cate Carlton has recently died, yet she is able to linger on, watching her three young children and her husband as they come to terms with their life without her on their rural horse property.
As the months pass and her children grow, they cope in different ways, drawn closer and pulled apart by their shared loss. And all Cate can do is watch on helplessly, seeing their grief, how much they miss her and how - heartbreakingly - they begin to heal.
Gradually unfolding to reveal Cate's life, her marriage, and the unhappy secret she shared with one of her children, In the Quiet is compelling, simple, tender, true - heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.
