The disaster of the cruise ship, Persephone, leaves only
three survivors- but they don't all have the same story
as to what happened. Frances Mace knows the truth about
what happened on the Persephone, and she's determined to
do anything to see that the truth comes out, even if it
means assuming another person's identity. Will Frances
lose who she is as she seeks revenge?
I loved one of Carrie Ryan's earlier books, The Forest of
Hands and Teeth, so I was curious to see how she would
handle a revenge thriller. I was not disappointed as
DAUGHTER OF DEEP SILENCE is everything I hoped it would
be!
Frances has assumed the identity of Libby, a friend she
acquired on the Persephone- and the friend she watched
slowly die as they drifted on a lifeboat, waiting for a
rescue that wasn't even looking for them. Her anger is
palpable and permeates each and every carefully planned
action. Frances has lost everything, and assuming Libby's
identity only increases her distance from everyone as she
fears disclosure by the boy who loved Libby. Carrie Ryan
does a marvelous job at creating empathy for Frances,
even as her actions turn criminal.
DAUGHTER OF DEEP SILENCE is a dark disturbing, and
heartbreaking tale of love and loss. Carrie Ryan draws
the reader into Frances' despair and pain, while showing
the hope that glimmers if only she would stop to see it.
The ending is a bit anticlimactic as it is Frances' own
inner journey that is the true heart and soul of DAUGHTER
OF DEEP SILENCE. DAUGHTER OF DEEP SILENCE is easily
recommended!
I’m the daughter of murdered parents.
I’m the friend of a dead girl.
I’m the lover of my enemy.
And I will have my revenge.
In the wake of the devastating destruction of the luxury
yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its
story—and two of them are lying. Only Frances Mace knows
the
terrifying truth, and she’ll stop at nothing to avenge the
murders of everyone she held dear. Even if it means taking
down the boy she loves and possibly losing herself in the
process.
Sharp and incisive, Daughter of Deep Silence by
bestselling
author Carrie Ryan is a deliciously smart revenge thriller
that examines perceptions of identity, love, and the
lengths
to which one girl is willing to go when she thinks she has
nothing to lose.
