Description
She Speaks the Silence of the River is a deeply introspective and emotional story about Aida, a woman who is blind, mute, and deaf, yet possesses an extraordinary connection to nature-particularly to the river near her home. Despite her sensory limitations, Aida has developed a heightened awareness of the world through touch, vibrations, and smells. Living in a remote village, her existence is shaped by the rhythms of the river, which she perceives through its currents and the subtle shifts in the earth. The story is set in a lush, rural village surrounded by mountains, forests, and the ever-present river that cuts through the heart of the landscape. Aida lives with her grandmother, who has cared for her since childhood. The villagers view Aida with a mix of reverence and pity, seeing her as a mysterious figure, somehow "connected" to the natural world in ways they cannot understand.
