This novel was very involving.  It jumps from the point-of-view of sisters whose mother suddenly begins speaking again after 20 years of silence.  Each sister has a different attitude toward their mother and toward her years of silence.  The beauty of their mother's mode of speech is so wonderful that its hard not to get pulled in by her charm.  But its clear that she has been very damaged by something in her past.  That damage has been unintentionally passed on to her daughters.  The conflicts and partial resolutions between daughters and mothers, between sisters, is fascinating.It is very much worth the read.  Enjoy!
