Description
In Lauren Hinds’ “The Quiet Family” a young girl named Kessa is intrigued by her new, quiet neighbours, the Bedoes. She observes the members of the family (parents and two children) from the secrecy of small spaces such as the patterned blocks of her gallery or the louvre in her living room. Her keen observations of the father reveal her uneasiness and mistrust towards him as the details of the quiet family’s life unfolds.
“The Quiet Family” is representative of Lauren’s subtle approach to a style of storytelling that stirs up uncomfortable questions. Even though the answers came from a young character, it is Kessa’s smart analysis and bravery that shines through in this story. Encased in handmade packaging, this limited edition (four copies) handmade casebound book will be a keepsake.
