A Hundred Silent Ways: A Novel | Mari Jojie
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
How do you trust and let yourself be comforted by the idea that the sun and the moon give out equal brilliance? On the brink of a crumbling marriage, Kate Pineda-McDowell runs away from the only life she has ever knownstraight into the heart of the Philippines where her estranged father lives. As she waits for her connecting flight from Tokyo to Manila, she meets Liam Walker, whose disquieting stares express deeper things than his reluctant words. Unbeknownst to both, their chance meeting circles back to a closely linked past that holds little hope for new beginnings. Shortly after arriving in Manila, Kate finds herself drawn to seek out Liam. In a span of a few magical days, what began as a spark ignites into an electric affair that compels Liam to let someone into his silent world while Kate confronts her heartbreaking sorrows. But falling for each other means opening old wounds and revealing their most intimate yearnings. Emotionally gripping and endearingly hopeful, A Hundred Silent Ways examines the many different paths people take to obtain a second chance at happiness while asking the most heartrending question of all: How much are we willing to endure to keep love alive?

Unfortunately for my psyche, I was trying to finish this book for review while trying to jam out Crying in H-Mart (because I only had my skip-the-line copy of it for a week) & both books center around grief & loss. My next books now will be very light.😨😬 Kate is escaping the loss of her young son & a request for a divorce from her husband by making an impromptu visit to her estranged father in the Philippines. Held up By a storm at the Tokyo ⬇️

DebinHawaii …Airport she meets Liam, also on his way to Manila. Knowing she can‘t get involved, she stays away until her reunion with her father falls apart & looks Liam up. Soon they are traveling together but secrets & scars from their pasts get in the way. There are twist I won‘t spoil, but although this short debut novel is poignant & had me tearing up with the quietly beautiful writing, the hopeful tone touched my heart. Worth a few 😢 (edited) 2y
