Review: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan
❀ An Edge of Your Seat Read
After an attack on a cruise ship, the lives of two friends change forever. One girl dies (Libby) and the other is orphaned (Frances). What is really interesting is how Frances, the living one, pretends to be her dead friend (Libby). After four years of hiding from two other survivors, the Senator and his son, Frances confronts them. The intrigue that Carrie Ryan has created in this book provides so much anticipation for the reader that it is an on the edge of your seat kind of read.
❀ AN Unforgettable Story
This book reminded me a bit of The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver, because the girl who feels like she is less admired pretends to be the other, who is dead. This concept is quite engaging, as it is really interesting to discover how the person who is acting as the dead one reveals themselves. The results are always humorous and make for an unforgettable story. Daughter of Deep Silence is certainly a book that has some real laugh out loud moments that will keep readers wanting to know more.
❀ Identifiable Main Character
Frances, the protagonist, is one of those characters that readers will immediately identify with. This character is clever, brave and witty! All the while that Frances is trying to discover the truth about how the cruise ship sank, she is outsmarting her enemies. It is so enjoyable to read books that contain such strong, well-developed female characters.
❀ Will Not Disappoint
Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan is a perfect addition to your to-be-read list. This book will not disappoint! The cover makes it seem a bit like a historical fiction, but really, it’s a contemporary.
Book Quotes: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan
“The dome of his head gleams faintly with sweat, and the folds on his face hang thickly, as though gravity somehow exerts more force on him than anyone else.”
“I watch as my reflection lifts trembling fingers to probe against the ridge of my cheekbones, so starved and sharp they cast deep shadows over sunken flesh.”
