Invisible Publishingerschienen am23.09.2021
Shortlisted for the 2022 Kobo Emerging Writer PrizeThe perfect marriage of literary and speculative fiction for readers of Kazuo Ishiguro and NK Jemisin.When Freya Tanangco was ten, she dreamed of her mother's death right before it happened. That´s when she realized she was a veker, someone with enhanced mental abilities and who is scorned as a result. Freya's adult life has been spent in hiding: from the troubled literary legacy created by her author father, and from the scrutiny of a society in which vekers often meet with violence.When her prophetic dreams take a dangerous turn, Freya finds herself increasingly forced to sacrifice her own anonymity-and the fragile safety that comes with it-in order to protect those around her.Interwoven with themes of Filipino and mixed-race identity, fantastical elements from Norse and Filipino mythology, and tarot card symbolism, The Quiet Is Loud is an intergenerational tale of familial love and betrayal, and what happens when we refuse to let others tell our stories for us."Garner wears her spec fic, geek, and SF influences on her sleeve, and The Quiet Is Loud is a warm welcome to the more literary part of that universe."-Understorey Magazine"A deeply thoughtful book about identity and the quest for true acceptance-especially in a world that encourages us to hate, hide, and fear who we are."-Stacey May Fowlesmehr
