Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Some families inherit land.Others inherit silence.After his mother's death, Eamon Kelleher returns to the rural Irish house he once fled. The village is unchanged. The house is quiet. Too quiet. What has endured is not grief alone, but a carefully preserved absence - a silence shaped over decades.As Eamon begins to question what was never spoken, he uncovers the long-buried story of his uncle Aidan, whose disappearance in the late 1960s was quietly absorbed by family and community alike. What emerges is not a single secret, but an inheritance: silence as protection, silence as labour, silence as survival.Set in Ireland in 1989 and moving fluidly between past and present, The Silences We Inherit is a restrained and emotionally resonant literary novel about generational trauma, memory, and the cost of unspoken truths. As Eamon presses for clarity, he is forced to confront not only his family's past, but the origin of his own restlessness - his lifelong need to name what others chose to endure.Written in elegant, understated prose, A.Nightingale explores how families survive through omission, how love can take the form of restraint, and how truth, when spoken too forcefully, can fracture what silence once held together.A quiet, powerful novel for readers who value psychological depth, moral complexity, and literary fiction that lingers long after the final page.
