About This Item
Phyllis Bruce Books/Harper Collins, 2004, 4th paperback printing. Condition: Very good, light edge wear and creasing near spine and corners, light bumps at corners.
From the publisher: Set on the eve of the Great War and spanning two continents, Deafening tells the story of Grania, a young deaf woman living in small-town Ontario, who falls in love with Jim, a hearing man. In wonderment, they create a new emotional vocabulary of sound and silence.
As the First World War explodes across Europe, Jim leaves to become a stretcher bearer on the Western Front, a pace filled with unforgiving noise, violence, and death. Through this long war of attrition, Jim and Grania attempt to sustain their love in a world as brutal as it is beautiful.
