Description
In Tongues follows a cast of characters whose lives are shaped—and complicated—by the power of language: what can be said, what must be translated, and what is lost in the process. As misunderstandings ripple outward and private truths surface in unexpected ways, the story explores how identity, belonging, and authority are negotiated through speech, silence, and interpretation. With its lyrical, character-driven approach, the book examines themes of communication, cultural memory, and the moral weight of interpretation. Thomas Grattan’s distinctive style blends intimate emotional stakes with a broader meditation on how we make meaning from one another—especially when we don’t fully share the same words.
