Historia
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Lucas Goodgame lives in Majestic, Pennsylvania, a quaint suburb that has been torn apart by a recent tragedy. Everyone in Majestic sees Lucas as a hero—everyone, that is, except Lucas himself. Insisting that his deceased wife, Darcy, visits him every night in the form of an angel, Lucas spends his time writing letters to his former Jungian analyst Karl. It is only when Eli, an 18-year-old young man whom the community has ostracized, begins camping out in Lucas’s backyard that an unlikely alliance takes shape and the two begin a journey to heal their neighbors and themselves.

Resumen del Editor
From the author of A Little Hope—a Read with Jenna Bonus Pick—comes another “heartwarming, character-driven” (Booklist) life-affirming novel about three individuals whose lives intersect in unforeseen ways.
Set in a close-knit suburb in the grip of winter, A Quiet Life follows three people grappling with loss and finding a tender wisdom in their grief.
Chuck Ayers used to look forward to nothing so much as his annual trip to Hilton Head with his wife, Cat—that yearly taste of relaxation they’d become accustomed to after a lifetime of working and raising two children. Now, just months after Cat’s death, Chuck finds that he can’t let go of her belongings—her favorite towel, the sketchbooks in her desk drawer—as he struggles to pack for a trip he can’t imagine taking without her.
Ella Burke delivers morning newspapers and works at a bridal shop to fill her days while she anxiously awaits news—any piece of information—about her missing daughter. Ella adjusts to life in a new apartment and answers every call on her phone, hoping her daughter will reach out.
After the sudden death of her father, Kirsten Bonato set aside her veterinary school aspirations, finding comfort in the steady routine of working at an animal shelter. But as time passes, old dreams and new romantic interests begin to surface—and Kirsten finds herself at another crossroads.
In this beautiful and profoundly moving novel, three parallel narratives converge in poignant and unexpected ways, as each character bravely presses onward, trying to recover something they have lost. Emotionally riveting and infused with hope, “the soothing tone and warm worldview of this grown-up bedtime story will be good for what ails you” (Kirkus Reviews).
Reseñas de la Crítica
"In this novel narrators Stacey Glemboski, Michelle Redmond, and Byron Wagner present interwoven stories of loss and grief in suburban Pennsylvania. The featured characters are elderly Chuck, single mom Ella, and young Kirsten, who is launching into adulthood. Each chapter reveals their experiences of immeasurable sorrow, taking us on a journey through a time and place. Wagner does an especially respectable job of narrating Chuck’s chapters. The characters’ stories reinforce the age-old beliefs that the world is small, we are all connected, and being kind will get us through."—AudioFile Magazine

Historia
It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

I’m so happy as I walk to pick up my son from the party. It’s his first since we moved here, and I know he’s found it hard settling in. Just as I’ve found it hard to make friends among the mothers at the school gates. But as I turn the corner, my heart stops. Instead of the picture-perfect birthday party I left earlier, there’s an ambulance.

Historia
Edith and Ashley have been best friends for over forty-two years. They’ve shared the mundane and the momentous together: trick or treating and binge drinking; Gilligan’s Island reruns and REM concerts; hickeys and heartbreak; surprise Scottish wakes; marriages, infertility, and children. As Ash says, “Edi’s memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.” But now the unthinkable has happened.

Three sad stories, that end happy.
I liked this book even though it was slow going and sad throughout! I would have even given it a 4 star but I’m never ok with characters who sleep together on their first date and after weeks of this, call it love. What the character Chuck had was love.

Multiple storylines
It was good. I had to restart because I was initially confused with all the different storylines but about 1/4 way in it all came together. Good characters and a good ending.

Not so Quiet
Loved how all the characters lives are connected and the compassion and care for each other without prejudice of age and gender. Such a beautiful story.

Heartwarming
A lovely well-written story of strangers becoming integral parts of each other’s lives - just like a real family. Heartwarming. Loved it

Loved it!
Anyone dealing with grief should read. Intertwined stories provide a landscape of life that all can relate too.

Wonderful audio
Tissue alert!!
This is a story of grief. I was thoroughly moved by the story because, although many scenes feel manufactured, I didn’t care because the story is kind, sweet, and hopeful. It’s a story that will make you sad for the grief the three main characters suffer; yet it’s a story of how everyday people find their way through the emotional fog of grief. One character stated that after a death there are so many regrets. I agree. When a loved one dies, we examine our time with them under a microscope, looking for all the wrongs and slights (generally unintended) that we did. Some, just big mistakes.
Chuck Ayers lost his wife to cancer. His wife was a beloved friend of many; she was artistic and supportive and gregarious. Chuck is a bit more reticent. He has a huge regret that he cannot let go of: his wife wanted to help a struggling artist and he nixed it.
The saddest, at least to me, is Ella Burke. Her husband kidnapped her 8-year-old daughter. She’s alone and obsesses all the time over her little girl. She takes a paper route and a job at a bridal shop to make ends meet (her husband abandoned her with her child). She’s alone and struggling…it was heartbreaking to me.
Kirsten Bonato’s father was murdered during an armed robbery at a gas station. This sudden death left her unmoored. She was intending to go to Veterinary school, but after this shocking event, she’s not sure what to do so she works at an animal shelter.
Through silly and manufactured events, their lives merge. In their own grief, they help each other. It’s a beautiful story of showing how random kindness can make a huge different in a person’s life. It made me feel hopeful for the human race! Manufactured events be damned. I loved being taken for the ride.
I listened to Ethan Joella’s “A Quiet Life” narrated by Stacey Glemboski, Melissa Redmond, and Byron Wagner.

Slow
The basic story is good, about grief and healing. However it progresses
Slowly and spends entirely too much time in the characters heads, especially Ella’s.

I was sad when it ended
I lost my mom not long ago so I really resonated with Kirsten and Chuck. Well written and enjoyable.
