Thirty-year-old Theresa Pellikaan is typical of the wealthy middle
classes - with her respectable background, successful husband and
house in an apparently sleepy, yet powerful, rich village. She
works in a gallery, also typical of her type. When her former
schoolmate Ruth Ackermann, brought up in the same village, makes
waves with an international bestseller, but none of the villagers
ever mention her achievement, not even the literary circle of
Theresa's father, famous civil rights scholar Randolf Pellikaan,
Theresa begins to wonder why. It can't only be because it's not
'literature'. It emerges that there is a dark secret in the
village. Every member of the book club has a reason to keep quiet
and Ruth Ackerman's novel threatens to bring the past into the
present, with devastating results. Unable to cope with the silence,
Theresa investigates, no matter the consequences.
