Thirty Days of Silence

On 14 February 2024, Harper Bennett discovers that her husband is having an affair. She does not shout. She does not cry. She says nothing.

An architect in Seattle, a mother of two, married for fourteen years, Harper chooses silence. For thirty days she watches, she understands, she waits — not to decide how to punish him, but to decide what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Across the city, Riley Chambers loves a man who is not free, and is expecting his child.

Told in three voices — the wife, the mistress, the man between them — this is a story that begins where others end: after the truth.
