In The Silent Field we can be anything. We can exist in a photograph, lose ourselves in a dream and enter a space within, to explore the pain, excitement and utter hilarity of life on Earth. This is a place of riddles and escape, where the landscape of love, loneliness and regret is examined while an old lady rocks on a fireside chair, a heartbroken lover says goodbye to someone forever and a tiny ballerina escapes the confines of her music box. It is also a place where transformation can happen; a place of passing from one thing to the next.

With the support of her secret lover, and with the help of a psychic, Lydia begins to unravel the secrets of her mother's life in America, before she moved to London. And what she discovers is darker than she had ever imagined... Could her twin sister's disappearance be somehow linked to a cult that originated in Texas in the seventies? And how are the Stone family connected to this evil and deluded group of people? Time is running out.
