ELEGANTLY WRITTEN and profoundly moving, Frances Itani''s debut novel is a tale of virtuosity and power. Set on the eve of the Great War, Deafening spans two continents and the lives of a young deaf woman and her beloved husband. Frances Itani''s astonishing depiction of a world where sound exists only in the margins is a singular feat in literary fiction, a place difficult to leave and even harder to forget. With the simultaneous publication of Poached Egg on Toast, Itani''s new short story collection, this is the perfect time for the trade paperback edition of Deafening.
