A timely book exploring the #MeToo climate. Rosenblum interweaves three points of view of students at the prestigious Lycroft Phelps school. The victim Quinn is consumed by rage and PTSD suffering in the wake of her rape at the end of term. All three protagonists realise that there is a cost for the perfect school experience - popularity/prospects/romance - but what must they sacrifice in order to succeed, and when must a line be drawn.
The Sharp Edge of Silence could have been a generic 'surface' exploration of entitlement and tradition, but Rosenblum has managed to navigate and create a narrative that feels authentic and at times raw and true that hopefully will serve to empower and educate.
