Before continuing with this #saturdayselfpromotion post, I want to recognize the privilege of being able to make it….
There is a new review of Your Silent Face . I invite you to check it out.
Y our Silent Face is my 80s coming-of-age-slash-ode-to-New-Wave-music novel. The narrator is Stuart Page. The setting is Flint, Michigan. “Who would you rather be? Ian Curtis or Bono?”
5.0 out of 5 stars A relatable, emotional story with a playlist to match!

Lane writes of finding oneself at home after a year in college. A time, for many, that is fraught with boundary testing, alcohol experimentation, friendships reimagined and tender moments as the mortality of loved ones is realized and the uncertainty of what the path forward looks like.
Stuart, like any well-written main character, shows his humanness, is not perfect. The story had me laughing, reflective, annoyed and wondering if maybe I should try my hand at poetry. The answer, good reader, is no, I should not.
Would and have recommended to friends.
