Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Spoken in Darkness is the book The Dead Girl wanted to be. It is more a memoir about growing up in a town that doesn't care and beginning to question why it doesn't care, than about the actual incident. Imbrie asks how her and her friend's lives ended up so different...and why she didn't know about the darkness in her friend's life...how they lost touch...and how her friend slipped away. At the end, Imbrie asks how this world can hold such evil as the animal that took out his hatred on her friend that slipped through the cracks in our fragile world so long ago. Every woman knows that the line between a safe, protected life and being lost in a dark basement forever is thin. Very thin. Every woman knows that our safetey depends on the caring of each other. This is what this book is about. The Dead Girl has some passages I underlined about safety, but Spoken In Darkness is elegaic. Neither book is really about the victim or the perpetrator. Both are about why we care and look out for each other ... or lose sight of each other , let go of eather other's hand, in our dark, dangerous world
