Author: Sara Maitland
Narrator: Polly Lee
A personal and cultural exploration of silence and its value in our lives - "[an] artful book, mixing autobiography, travel writing, meditation, and essay. In her late 40s, Sara Maitland found herself living alone in the country and, to her surprise, falling in love with silence. In this fascinating, intelligent, and beautifully written book, Maitland describes how she began to explore this new love, spending periods of silence in the Sinai desert, the Scottish hills, and a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye. Maitland also delves deep into the rich cultural history of silence, exploring its significance in fairy tale and myth, its importance to the Western and Eastern religious traditions, and its use in psychoanalysis and artistic expression.
