Holy wow! This book was gripping. Mikalsen instantly pulled me to the heart of the story and kept me hooked until the end. She chiseled her characters and her plot perfectly. I stayed up long into the night reading this one, turning page after page. I just couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the plot line, and the characters and am keeping this one on the bookshelf to stay!

Emma's story is not for the faint of heart. It's not a light read, learning of Emma's rape and who her new boss will be, in a profession that has more corruption than you would imagine. This story is filled with twists and turns that will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat. The realism that is incorporated into Emma's roller coaster story is magnificent. Mikalsen weaves together situations that are true to life and had me feeling every emotion that Emma felt throughout this story. 

This book is one I highly recommend to all. It's a story that weaves a look into the consequences of being forced to stay quiet when all you want to do is shout the truth to anyone willing to listen. It's a story that will open your eyes, all while making you want to hug Emma. If you love a superbly written, full of true-to-life characters novel, then Mikalsen's All The Silent Voices is one you won't want to miss.

Divergent Style Shows Strength As Storyteller. The singular best thing I can say about this book is that with its dramatic departure from the style and tone of the author's previous book The House With The Cypress Trees it truly shows just how great of a storyteller she is. This particular book is a drama with few laughs and a fair amount of heartbreak going back over two decades, with its overall story solidly rooted in the travails of the MeToo movement and anti-Big Pharma activism. For many, the reader's own thoughts on those two subjects will largely determine how you feel about the book, but speaking as someone who was leery of the book when I noticed it was diving towards MeToo stuff it actually turned out to be a solid, well balanced tale. Very much recommended.
