Jill Talbot on The Big Quiet

This book means so much to me. We need more books like it. “Even though it had just come out, the book felt like an historical artifact. As though it belonged to someone else.” I know this feeling. I remember sitting on my couch night after night for about a week, the box of my author copies next to me (no job, no money—I see you) reading it all the way through (quick read) and wondering, who wrote this? And who allowed it be something anyone might read? Oh, all the feelings. And oh, the surprise of the reader who reaches out. Onward!
