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.
