Aquarium Shehori Yaara
A debut novel following two sisters, both deaf and raised in seclusion by deaf parents, and the shattering consequences that unfold when that isolation comes to an end.Sisters Lili and Dori Ackerman are deaf. Alex, a scrap metal collector and sometime prophet, opposes any attempt to integrate with the hearing; to escape their destructive influence, the girls are educated at home. Their parents--beautiful, despondent Anna; fearsome and admired Alex--are deaf, too.
Lili writes down everything that happens--just the facts. Deafness is no disability, their father says, but an alternative way of life, preferable by far to that of the strident, hypocritical hearing.Living in a universe of their own creation, feared by and disdainful of the other children on their block, Lili and Dori grow up semi-feral. And Dori, the reader, follows her older sister wherever she goes.
