SILENCE (3) told by Rachel Rose Reid
In the whole World, only one manuscript unfolds the Roman de Silence. Written around 1250 by Heldris of Cornwall, it was discovered in 1911 in an old English Manor House, in a box marked 'Old Papers, No Value' (under a few letters from King Henry VIII).
The story follows a gender fluid (really) descendent of King Arthur thrown into a quest for empowerment and equality.
It is packed with adventure, humour and conflicts that feel familiar to our modern ears.
In 1911 suffrage protests were at their explosive height, so the controversial manuscript was kept silent.
But the story was made to be told.
Now is the time to tell it.
