Summary
Summary
Critically acclaimed author Shira Nayman has been praised by School Library Journal for her "breathtaking storytelling" and her ability to write with "stunning clarity." Nayman's debut novel, The Listener is a tale of madness and passion set in a psychiatric hospital just after the end of WWII.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The Listener explores with great subtlety and perceptiveness the issues of trama and quilt, illustrating the complexity of the way in which a mind that has experienced horrors—whether as perpetrator or victim—may create elaborate defenses that are paradoxically self-destructive.”
—Charles Palliser, author of The Quincunx and The Unburied
“Nayman turns a jaundiced eye on her own profession…The line between sanity and insanity and the questioning of the rules that govern the patient-doctor relationship are consistently intriguing.”
—Booklist
“Vividly imagined and evoked.”
—Kirkus Reviews
