Mute

By: Christine Bernard

Narrated by: Kendra Murray

Can you get by for an hour without talking? A day even? What about a month? Or nine? Rebecca Marley sets herself a nine-month challenge with only one rule: She isn’t allowed to communicate with anyone. She is to become mute. How hard could it be?

Yet, what starts as a challenge soon becomes a journey of self-discovery as Rebecca has only herself for company. Will this time be the peaceful respite she so desperately seeks? Or will she confront aspects of herself that a noisy world hides so well?

Faced with love and heartache, she soon learns to find solace in silence.

Excellent book!

Really enjoyed the creative subject of a woman choosing to go mute and document her experiences. And narrated by a very talented voice actress! Great character voices and timing. 10/10!

Well...

It was ok. I like parts of the story but I feel like it was unfinished. I have too many unanswered questions.

*** spoiler alert ***

Why do we not see her go and find Benjamin? Why leave Eddie in the coffee shop stunned and not say more? I’m glad she made up with her mom. That was nice. But I just feel as if there could have been more to the story. The narrator was good. The writing was good. I just needed more I guess.

Amazing

I really loved this book! I feel like I learned things about myself just listening. Wonder if I could be silent that long? I enjoyed the narrator also.

It’s sooo good!!

I just love when you forget a narrator is narrating and you get lost in the story. The narrator WAS Rebecca and you could feel the emotions she was experiencing both the ups and downs. You’ll laugh, cry, and after your own introspective thoughts, just be amazed at the author’s realistic creation. It reads like a real autobiography.

I never read anything by Christine Bernard before but I look forward to listening to more of her works in the future! The same goes with the narrator. I look forward to what other books she’ll breathe life into.

Discussion worthy!

This book will be delightful to discuss with my friends and family. Full of fun fodder for friendly interaction. The ending seemed abrupt but overall a good read. Especially liked the narrator who has a calming and clear voice. She was able to put pictures in my head
