I enjoyed reading this unique story. The characters are very relatable and I liked that it was told in two time lines. This is always a plus for me. The story really shows the devastation that being untruthful causes in families. Is lying by omission harmful? In this book you will see just.how very harmful it can be. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction or familial fiction.

Who says an omission isn't as bad as an outright lie. This book tells the extremely long term repercussions of not telling others something important. Family members lived and died not knowing they had other family members who could have been a part of their lives. One cold hearted, unforgiving woman robbed two families of a close relationship between them. Read The Disharmony of Silence and find out how they found each other in the end.

I loved this book, as it focused on relationships and had two different timelines. The author captured the resentments and regrets of the characters realistically. The underlying theme is that family can hurt you in ways that no one else can. Secrets always come out and the author did a brilliant job of writing about the consequences of this.

The Disharmony of Silence, by Linda Rosen
My thanks to #NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for an honest review. Not my favorite kind of story; I was troubled some of the storyline as it hit too close to home at some points. The writing style was a little long-winded which tended to drag sometimes, but it was enjoyable just the same.

This was a very interesting, moving story. It dragged a little, in places, but overall it was a solid read. The characters were wonderful and while they could be a little difficult, at times, you really felt for them. The secrets of the generations was interesting as I've uncovered a few of those over the years. Some scandalous, some just entertaining. Overall, I would recommend this book to any one who enjoys women fiction or historical fiction.
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher and voluntarily chose to review it.

The writing style and I just aren't getting along — the paragraphs are so long that my eyes keep glazing over, I feel like the narrator is jumping to (illogical) conclusions constantly, and every other sentence seems to be backstory. Of course it's possible that this all gets better as the book continues, but I'm just not invested enough in the characters to find out.
