Librarian Lynn recommends: The Price of Silence by Camilla Trinchieri

This is a fascinating page turner about an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher Emma Perotti who becomes obsessed with a young Chinese artist named An-ling. As the story unravels, it is apparent that Emma has never really dealt with the accidental death of her own daughter. Her guilt and silence have left her an empty shell of a person. Her family has tried to move on as if her daughter never existed. She is drawn to An-ling in a motherly way so much that she leaves her troubled marriage and her son to live with An-ling. Suspense builds when Emma goes to trial for An-ling’s murder and the reader finds out the truth about each character’s past. I highly recommend this fast and intense read.
