Review
Joan M. Drury's Silent Words is a thinking person's mystery. Part history, part meditation, the novel follows its protagonist, Tyler Jones, to the wilds of Lake Superior's north shore to claim her ancestral home. Jones, a radical feminist lesbian, has come to honor her mother's dying wish that family secrets long buried be at last exposed. What she discovers about her mother's people makes for provocative reading.
