A Book Of Silence by Maitland, Sara

A lyrical, reflective meditation on voluntary silence and solitude that interweaves personal experiments with longer periods of quiet, cultural and religious histories of silence, and encounters with wild places; the narrator examines how withholding speech reshapes perception, creativity, inner life and bodily awareness, and considers silence as both sanctuary and provocation in a noisy modern world.

The 17010th greatest book of all time
