A breathtaking love story from the author of Beautiful Broken Things and Goodbye, Perfect. Now reissued with a fresh cover look. Steffi doesn't talk. Rhys can't hear. But they understand each other perfectly. Love isn't always a lightning strike. Sometimes it's the rumbling roll of thunder. Steffi has been a selective mute for most of her life - she's been silent for so long that she feels completely invisible. But Rhys, the new boy at school, sees her. He's deaf, and her knowledge of basic sign language means that she's assigned to look after him. To Rhys it doesn't matter that Steffi doesn't talk and, as they find ways to communicate, Steffi finds that she does have a voice, and that she's falling in love with the one person who makes her feel brave enough to use it. From the bestselling author of Beautiful Broken Things, Sara Barnard's A Quiet Kind of Thunder is stunning love story about the times when a whisper is as good as a shout. Praise for A Quiet Kind of Thunder "I swallowed this in one delicious sitting, and I've been thinking about Steffi and Rhys ever since. Honestly, it's been weeks and I'm not over them. They're so well drawn that they feel really real for me in a way that makes me want to check in with them for the rest of their lives." -Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe | A Quiet Kind Of Thunder by Sara Barnard, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
