With words come power. But do you speak out or shut up?

Everywhere Sara Javed goes - online or outside - everyone is shouting about something. Couldn't they all just shut up? One day she takes her own advice.

At first people don't understand her silence and are politely confused at best. But the last thing Sara could anticipate is becoming the figurehead of a global movement that splits society in two.

The Silent Movement sparks outrage in its opposers. Global structures start to shift. And the lives of those closest to Sara - as well as strangers inspired by her act - begin to unravel.

It's time for the world to reconsider what it means to have a voice.

A sharply observed novel, charged with compassion and dark wit, that will spark important conversations about how we live, relate and communicate now.

Industry Reviews

Malik's talent is singular - she's created a dystopia that feels like a utopia. It's so powerful and profound, but she executes dark and complicated ideas with so much wit, grace and lightness

Ayisha Malik started at a high point and just gets better all the time. I loved this book, with its subtle satire and memorable characters

Brilliantly insightful, witty, smart. A revelation and a revolution all in one - an absolute joy to read

Both a call to arms and an indictment of the emotional fracking engendered by the 24/7 connected society... A book for, and of, the now'

An intelligent look at what it means to have a voice - Grazia

A really clever and creative examination of how we interact with each other, in person and on online, and the issues that affect our lives - CultureFly

Dazzling, clever and mind-blowingly creative . . . This isn't just a book, it's a world-changing conversation

Malik makes us care with wry humour and bite
