About this listen

The Sunday Times bestseller, from the author of The Binding

'Utterly original… ensnared me from the very first page' EMILIA HART

'Storytelling at its most immersive' ERIN KELLY

The whole world disappears when you enter THE SILENCE FACTORY

In the Factory, the looms clatter all day. Cobwebs found in ancient Mediterranean glades are spun into a precious fabric that silences the world.

But what happens to those who fall under its spell?

And who is harnessing its power?

After all, a world of silence can bring peace, but it can also conceal the deeds of the wicked…

The Silence Factory is an enthralling story about complicity, desire and corruption – a novel to lose yourself in.

'Breathtaking' GLAMOUR

'A gorgeous, gothic read' i PAPER

'A world that exists on the edge of time and magic… this is storytelling at its most immersive' ERIN KELLY

I Loved the twists and turns and the all inclusive romantic relationships. It was fascinating

Fantastic Victorian gothic fantasy

I loved the Bindings, so had high hopes for this, but found it disappointing. The main male characters were unconvincing - Henry came across as a simpering idiot and Sir Edward as a cartoon villain. Sophia's story was more interesting. The male narrator made quite a few mistakes of pronunciation - even just saying the wrong word at times, indicating a lack of care in reading. Overall I was glad to get to the end so I could stop listening to it.

Bridget Collins’ work can be challenging but this took the biscuit, so dragged out and yet another book I’ve attempted recently that seems to be going nowhere such that in the end I don’t care and give up.

The concept was amazing and so imaginative, as you would expect with a Bridget collins novel. I’m not gifted with the vocabulary to describe how listening to her books makes me feel, but I’m so grateful I was introduced.
The narration was fabulous and made it come alive, I was totally absorbed from start to finish.

Magically imaginative, typical Bridget Collins
