Out of the Silence

The dawn of the 20th century brings three remarkable women into each other's orbit. Maggie Heffernan is a spirited country girl whose betrayal sends her spiralling into desperation and tragedy. Vida Goldstein is a suffragist about to make political history. And Elizabeth Hamilton, heartbroken after the death of her fianc? and hoping for a new life in a new country, brings them together with her grace and empathy as she searches for justice and mercy.



Out of the Silence weaves historical fact with poetic invention in a captivating story of hope and ambition, regret and consolation, and the quest to right personal and political wrongs.
