Soundless by Richelle Mead

Soundless by Richelle Mead - 272 pages

This stand-alone teen novel is from one of my favorite adult authors.  It's a pretty unique story that reads almost like an extended fairy tale.  The main character lives in isolated village high on a mountain where the inhabitants have lost their hearing over generations.  Daily life in the village is very regimented following a traditional Asian type hierarchy where everyone has their specific role to play.  The food supply to the village is compromised and that leads to a journey of discovery and rebellion with a sprinkling of forbidden romance.
