US Publication Day!
The sun is out and so is The Silent Treatment in the US & Canada today! You can find it at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, IndieBound, Amazon & Bookshop.
Since I first saw the proposed illustrator for the US cover, I have been head-over-heels for the artwork and package that the team at William Morrow/HarperCollins have produced.
And the book has received some lovely trade reviews in the US:
“Greaves finds extraordinary in the ordinary, carefully pulling apart this seemingly happy marriage to reveal the guilt and desperation that lie beneath. Frank and Maggie’s struggle to define themselves when life doesn’t meet their expectations is full of intensity and emotion, their love for one another the only constant. With the sincerity and hope of Tayari Jones’ An American Marriage (2018) and the thoughtful, circumspect snapshots of marriage in Lauren Groff’s Fates and Furies (2015), Greaves’ debut depicts the many joys and sorrows that make up a marriage.”
“Greaves writes their distinct voices expressively and assuredly, making both characters come alive. Their struggle to help their daughter as she flounders is both realistic and moving, and it’s almost impossible not to like Frank and Maggie as they do everything they can to save her. A sometimes-hopeful, often heartbreaking look at the difficult and beautiful moments of parenting and marriage.”
Here’s hoping that US readers love The Silent Treatment!
