Reviews

""Written in sparse, hypnotic prose that delivers a quiet scream, The Silent Period is a novel that lingers. Fresh, poignant, and compelling."" -- Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho ""Francesca Manfredi’s The Silent Period gracefully eviscerates the artifice encasing contemporary communication, uncovering an earnest appetite for a quieter form of communion. With a crystalline comic edge, this novel elegantly excavates the caverns of yearning concealed by our society’s deceptively sleek digital interfaces."" -- Emmeline Clein, author of Dead Weight
