‘Marlene Rose hardly says a word to anyone, yet everyone has so much to say on her behalf.’ Clever Marlene held everyone in thrall to her silence. For a few magical months in 1972, the world promised to change - but hope was snatched away, along with her illegitimate baby. This time, keeping quiet is not enough.Over the next twenty years, three disparate sets of lives find their paths take on new direction: The riotous family, the beautiful couple and the brilliant young doctor, all are inexorably bound to the leafy edges of Middlesex, where Marlene Rose’s life unravels in silent tragedy. Here, with her behaviour becoming more bizarre, she executes her wordless revenge on these innocent strangers and devastation threatens one and all.
