The Novel

The Quiet Between Us

Two sisters. One inherited house on the coast. A summer neither of them expected to spend piecing together the version of their mother they never knew. Annika Lacey’s most personal novel yet is about memory, forgiveness, and the words we leave unsaid.
Praised for prose that “reads like a held breath,” this is a book for readers who loved the slow-burn intimacy of a story that trusts its reader.

About the Author

Annika Lacey

Annika Lacey writes fiction about the quiet weight families carry — the things said too late and the things never said at all. Her stories are shaped by long coastal walks, old letters, and a fondness for characters who don’t have it all figured out.
When she isn’t writing, she’s usually re-reading Didion, restoring an old writing desk, or plotting her next novel in the margins of a notebook.
