Charlotte–a gifted but broken jazz singer–has found security and support under the roof of an overbearing French patroness of the arts, only to become trapped by her own dependence. There are no bars on the windows and no locks on the doors, but Charlotte is very much a prisoner in an opulent but unsympathetic world in which her self-worth is contingent on her voice. When the irresponsible and headstrong Theo re-enters her life after thirteen years, she is compelled, finally, to choose between complacency and autonomy.
A beautifully shaped novel with gentle notes of human frailty and sadness that evokes compassion, Tacet is not a depressing novel, far from it for it holds out the hope that the a caged bird-like Charlotte can be a free one if they take the opportunity to shake their gilded confines.
