The Curfew by Jesse Ball
Set in a dystopian society where the government enforces strict curfews and suppresses free speech, the story follows William, a former musician turned epitaphorist, and his young daughter Molly. As they navigate the oppressive regime, William is tasked with crafting epitaphs for the deceased, while Molly, who is mute, communicates through a unique form of sign language. Their lives take a dramatic turn when William becomes embroiled in a dangerous mission to uncover the truth behind the authoritarian rule, leading to a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring human spirit in the face of tyranny.
