Publisher's Summary
A powerful, moving and extremely gripping story, set in medieval times.
The Raging Quiet tells the story of Marnie and Raver each set apart from the community around them: Marnie because she is a newcomer brought to the seaside village by her new - and much older - husband, and Raver because he is the village lunatic.
The villagers are suspicious of any newcomer, and they are especially wary of Marnie when her husband dies suddenly. She causes more consternation when she befriends Raver, but Marnie discovers that he is not mad: he is deaf. She develops a rudimentary sign language to communicate with the young man. This seals their fate. The villagers see Raver responding calmly to her hand gestures, and they try Marnie for witchcraft.
Critic Reviews
"A truly magnificent novel. Marnie is a remarkable heroine." (The Bookseller)
"A beautiful and passionate love story as well as an angry retort against prejudice." (Libraries for Learning)
