Yellow Pages

by Nicole Markotic

A novel that travels not only through the life and mind of Alexander Graham Bell - the man whose "little contraption" changed the way the world communicates - but that gives his voiceless wife the chance to spin her own magical tale of love and logic, to let her fingers do the talking. In a journey back through time to Boston and the younger years of one of our most famous inventors, Yellow Pages follows the repercussions of Bell's further inventions and interventions in the deaf community. Yellow Pages is a sensual tale about missing senses, a life story told through the explosion of touch amidst all the silence.
