The Silent Striker

Marcus is the best player in his football team. He’s actually so good that there’s a very real chance he’ll be signed by Manchester United. But when he discovers he may be losing his hearing, his whole world falls to pieces and he finds himself having to put them back together on his own. But is this feeling of isolation real or just a consequence of his own behaviour? While dealing with parents, friends and first girlfriends, Markus gradually understands that accepting the help of others is ultimately an acceptance of self. 

A novel about friendship and family, The Silent Striker explores the issue of disability, and deafness, and the different ways in which we can choose to handle it.
