A review by finalgirlfall
Shtum by Jem Lester

4.0

when i read (and reviewed) this at the age of 16, i called this novel "inherently ableist" for being about a presumably-allistic father's perception of his autistic child--but if i recall correctly, the protagonist's son doesn't end the novel by miraculously speaking, which i think is a point in lester's favor.
