TUMULTUOUS SILENCE is the story of a girl who is trapped in a culture that is a microcosm of a distant world - a world that is alien and stultifying. TUMULTUOUS SILENCE delves not only into the harsh realities of the suppression of women but also, particularly, into their silent suffering. It underscores the devastating outcome and injustices that result from the imposition of a rigid culture on women. The story holds some surprises for the reader. This work is a reality-based story with fictional characters embroiled in real-life events.
