Why I Wrote The Truth I Found in the Silence

Five years ago, if you’d asked me what silence was, I’d have said it was a relief. Just quiet. The one place I didn’t have to put on an act. A basement hum where nothing could get to me.

I was given a copy of Text Chain, and it pulled me in fast.
The group chat between Marcus (in Navy boot camp), Anthony (at college), and Henry feels real — funny, awkward, and sometimes heavy. It reads exactly like longtime friends texting each other.

A Tale of Paris & Paris by Edmond Thornfield
Rate this book

This is a dense, immersive historical novel that clearly knows the world it’s working in. The archaic voice and slow pacing won’t be for everyone, but they do a lot to ground the story once you settle into it. What worked best for me was the way the ...more
