Silence by Josie Henley-Einion published by Legend Press Ltd (July 26th 2008) YouWriteOn.com is delighted to announce that Waterstones have recognised Silence as their Welsh Book of the Month. Josie's Novel 'Silence', published July 26th, appeared in the Metro on Tuesday, Legend Press should have a scan of the article to be posted up very soon on their site! The book and her launch party this Saturday 26th July at Waterstone's Cardiff also get a mention on the metro website. Jackie Harris, prison counsellor and ex-drag king, kills her lesbian lover's rapist in what she insists is self-defence. Looking back through her life, Silence portrays a troubled but resolute character struggling against the many obstacles and with her own identity.
Examining sexual violence and its repercussions, Silence is a gripping and stylish novel that questions the right of the media to scrutinise and control public judgement. When all is done, Silence is the only route for Jackie Harris to be heard.View News Story and links to buy Silence
