Monster. Martyr. Mother. On Emilia Morris' s thirteenth birthday, her mother Rachel moves into a tent at the bottom oftheir garden. From that day on, she never says another word. Inspired by her vow of silence,other women join her and together they build the Community. Eight years later, Rachel andthousands of her followers around the world burn themselves to death. In the aftermath of what comes to be known as the Event, the Community' s global influencequickly grows. As a result, the whole world has an opinion about Rachel - whether they see heras a callous monster or a heroic martyr - but Emilia has never voiced hers publicly. Until now. When she publishes her own account of her mother' s life in a memoir called The SilenceProject, Emilia also decides to reveal just how sinister the Community has become. In theprocess, she steps out of Rachel' s shadow once and for all, so that her own voice may finallybe heard. ' Engrossing and original, political and unpredictable' , The Silence Project will get people talking. ' - Bernadine Evaristo
