  • A
  • seemingly
  • peaceful
  • village
  • at
  • the
  • edge
  • of
  • Oxford
  • seethes
  • with
  • the
  • unspoken
  • tensions
  • and
  • frustrations
  • of
  • a
  • group
  • of
  • neighbors.
  • A
  • disparate
  • group
  • of
  • women
  • including
  • a
  • visiting
  • American
  • professor's
  • wife,
  • a
  • school
  • headmistress,
  • a
  • young
  • recluse,
  • a
  • hairdresser
  • and

  • fanatic
  • churchgoer,
  • react
  • in
  • wildly
  • different
  • ways
  • to
  • their
  • enigmatic
  • young

  • As
  • in
  • all
  • her
  • novels,
  • Helen
  • Hudson's
  • theme
  • in
  • Night
  • Voices
  • is
  • about
  • the
  • tragedy
  • that
  • befalls
  • the
  • most
  • vulnerable
  • among
  • us
  • when
  • good
  • people
  • lack
  • the
  • courage
  • to
  • reach
  • out
  • to
  • them.
  • Once
  • again
  • she
  • depicts
  • with
  • compassion
  • and
  • humor
  • the
  • struggles,
  • doubts,
  • and
  • fears
  • of
  • a
  • cast
  • of
  • characters
  • so
  • authentic
  • we
  • are
  • certain
  • we've
  • met
  • them
  • in
  • our
  • own lives.
