The Silent Treatment
Book Feature - The Silent Treatment by Abbie Greaves
HBL Note: Sometimes I’m drawn to a book just because it is different. I have friends who can read the same type of book over and over again (or even the exact same book over and over again) but I need variety. The synopsis of The Silent Treatment by Abbie Greaves intrigues me. First of all, the title of the book makes me think of a psychological thriller, but the synopsis is so much better! Why is the couple no longer talking? How could they have gone six whole months without saying a word to each other? Why did the husband withdraw? So many questions and just from reading the short synopsis. I think this is going to be a good one! Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
A lifetime together.
Six months of silence.
One last chance.
By all appearances, Frank and Maggie share a happy, loving marriage. But for the past six months, they have not spoken. Not a sentence, not a single word. Maggie isn’t sure what, exactly, provoked Frank’s silence, though she has a few ideas.
Day after day, they have eaten meals together and slept in the same bed in an increasingly uncomfortable silence that has become, for Maggie, deafening.
Then Frank finds Maggie collapsed in the kitchen, unconscious, an empty package of sleeping pills on the table. Rushed to the hospital, she is placed in a medically induced coma while the doctors assess the damage.
If she regains consciousness, Maggie may never be the same. Though he is overwhelmed at the thought of losing his wife, will Frank be able to find his voice once again—and explain his withdrawal—or is it too late?
