Produktbeschreibung
The silent barrier explores the intersections of generosity, mystery, and societal expectations. The narrative follows an American mining engineer whose chance encounter with two women in a London hotel sparks a quietly dramatic chain of events. Overhearing one woman s wistful wish to visit the Swiss Alps, he feels compelled to grant her this dream by orchestrating an opportunity disguised as a journalistic assignment. This gesture, though grand and seemingly anonymous, introduces tension that threads through the novel. The young woman, working as a secretary while harboring literary ambitions, remains unaware of his role in shaping her path. The early chapters dwell in hotel corridors and drawing rooms, where ambition and class quietly clash. A mysterious figure emerges an unsettling man whose interest in the woman s upcoming journey raises questions about motive and manipulation. As conversations unfold with unspoken undertones, the narrative plants seeds of potential rivalry, deception, and emotional awakening. This beginning offers a richly atmospheric lead-in to a story that promises inner and outer journeys shaped by hidden intentions and the fragile architecture of trust.
