The Source of the Sound

From medieval Europe to outback Queensland, from war-torn Bosnia to China and on to the shores of the Aral Sea,The Source of the Soundtraces the journeys of exiles in search of home.

In subtle, understated prose Patrick Holland charts a world of belonging and loss, lingering in its silence to capture the light that penetrates its deepest shadows. Sparse yet evocative, intimate yet powerful, these stories will resonate with readers long after they are finished.
