SONGS WITHOUT WORDS: Ann Packer: Knopf: 2007: Fiction: 321 pagesAnn Packer’s newest novel takes a deep look into the souls of women and the choices they must make in life.
Packer takes us on a journey into the lifelong friendship of Sarabeth and Liz who are pushed to the breaking point when Liz’s teenage daughter attempts suicide. Liz who has always been more of a mother figure to Sarabeth since her own mother killed herself when Sarabeth was sixteen, has little patience for Sarabeth’s neediness when she should be comforting Liz over her daughter’s troubles. This is a sad but engrossing novel that asks us to examine the role of friendship in women’s lives.
