What happens when the war follows you home and there's no one left to fight but yourself? Deafening Silence is a powerful and emotionally raw Australian literary fiction novel exploring psychological trauma, post-war identity, and the quiet disintegration of family life. Set in suburban Australia, this deeply moving work of contemporary fiction follows Daniel Shaw, a once-proud Special Forces veteran, now grappling with PTSD, hearing loss, and the unbearable silence of civilian life. He survived Afghanistan but may not survive the home front. Daniel's wife, Kelly, is holding their world together, raising children, managing her job, and navigating the emotional aftermath of a marriage pushed to breaking point. As Daniel retreats further into himself, the lines between love, duty, and survival begin to blur. Told with emotional depth and a character-driven focus, Deafening Silence uses a fragmented narrative style to reflect the inner reality of trauma, its dislocation, repetition, and silences. This is war fiction that goes beyond the battlefield. It's about the aftermath: the bureaucracy, the emotional fallout, and the people left unheard. With elements of realism, psychological fiction, and formally experimental storytelling, Deafening Silence offers a bold and unflinching portrait of trauma's reach into everyday life. Perfect for readers of Australian literary voices, veterans' stories, and fiction about mental health, this novel speaks to those who have felt unseen in their suffering and those who are trying to love them through it. Ideal for book clubs, adult readers, and fans of emotionally complex, socially relevant fiction.
