A teacher asked me a question, and I opened my mouth as a sort of formality, but closed it softly, knowing with perfect certainty that nothing would ever come out again.
Ruby gives up talking at a young age.
Her mother isn't always there to notice; she comes and goes and goes and comes, until, one day, she doesn't.
Silence becomes Ruby's refuge, sheltering her from the weather of her mother's mental illness and a pressurized suburban atmosphere.
Plangent, deft, and sparkling with wry humor, Somebody Loves You is a moving exploration of how we choose or refuse to tell the stories that shape us.
It is a powerful and poignant tale that will resonate with readers of all ages.
I highly recommend it.
