Gloria Don't Speak
Gloria Don't Speak
Lucy Apps
Nineteen-year-old Gloria sees the world differently from those around her. With a learning disability and limited speech, she spends her days wandering the parks of East London, searching for companionship and small moments of happiness. Then she grows close to Jack, an unpredictable man whose attention makes her feel seen but gradually draws her into danger. Told through Gloria’s distinctive perspective, this tender, unsettling novel explores vulnerability, exploitation, and the universal need for connection.
