Rhiannon H. reviewed on 2/6/2013

My boyfriend collects books. I had a bought with the flu while at his house last week and perused his shelves for something new. I really only picked "The Silent Land" because of the cover. I'm so very glad I did. This novel was unexpectedly good. There are really only two characters, Zoe and Jake. They get caught in an avalanche in the French Alps, and miraculously escape, only to find they are the only two people in the village they're in. Hotels, restaurants, shops... all abandoned. The book really threw me for a loop a few times. It's a very beautiful love story, but left me feeling very uneasy almost the whole way through. Quite unsettling.

I read this in about 6 hours. I just didn't want to put it down.
