The Silence of Water

When rivers turn toxic and bottled supplies vanish, a Yorkshire town begins to unravel under the weight of a growing water crisis. Robert Scott, a teacher haunted by his late father's maps of hidden springs, must protect his wife Maria-who knows scarcity all too well from her childhood in Vietnam-and their two daughters as fear and desperation tighten around their community. Blending haunting realism with lyrical prose, The Silence of Water is a dystopian tale of family, survival, and the fragile thread between nature and human endurance.
