April 2014 Book of the Month - Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2014 A deeply romantic story set against a background of terrible prejudice and astonishing violence. Snatched from her home by a violent predator who cuts out her tongue to silence her, Judith becomes an outcast to her community.
In silence she must observe both the injustice of the judgements against her and, almost worse, the loss of the man she has always loved. Judith writes the story of her life with a quiet dignity recording the bravery of one girl and the courage it takes to stand up for the truth.
Judith can't speak. Ever since the horrifying trauma that left her best friend dead and Judith without a tongue, she's been a pariah in her community; even her own mother can't look her in the eye. When her community is attacked, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence or recover her voice, even if what she has to say might change things forever.
