His dreams change, however, soon after his arrival in Brazil ...Months later, Thomas arrives home, thin, sick and, worst of all, unable or unwilling to speak. Frustrated by his silence, Sophie takes increasingly drastic measures to uncover the truth about what happened to her husband while he was away. But as she sorts through Thomas's diaries and boxes of exquisite butterflies, it becomes clear that the truth may not be easy to bear. 'The Sound of Butterflies fuses Edwardian gentility with obsession, murder and a glimpse of the giddy excess of the Brazilian rubber boom ...Told in prose as opulent as one of Thomas's specimens, it's a convincing debut' Observer
