Book Review: The Quiet and the Loud
June 12, 2023
The Quiet and the Loud does a magnificent job of articulating the ups and downs and all the noise that occurs as a teenager…
Rosa like to read memoirs, essay collections, short story anthologies and literary fiction. She likes lyrical books, particularly those composed of vignettes, about people trying to figure out why they do the messy things they do – the joys and the fears, the hopes and the heartbreak, and everything in between. Her favourite authors of 2023 are Carmen Maria Machado, Helena Fox, Isobel Beech and Laura McPhee-Browne.
The Quiet and the Loud does a magnificent job of articulating the ups and downs and all the noise that occurs as a teenager…
Wandering Souls reminded me that the world is cruel but the beautiful is beautiful: it broke my heart but also left it hopeful.
Lyrical, haunting, contemplative, mesmerising and intense, this memoir is an honest depiction of trauma, heartbreak, healing, and love.
Maddie Mortimer 100% succeeds in conveying the complexity of life and death and the relationships that both make and break you.
