    The Importance of Being Earnest is a play by Oscar Wilde that mocks the culture and manners of Victorian society. It is a farcical comedy that relies on satire and a comic resolution to make that mockery more palatable to viewers. The play is about friends Jack and Algernon's double-lives interfering with their romantic pursuits. It is considered Wilde’s greatest dramatic achievement and a satire of Victorian social hypocrisy.Robin

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Some stories are whispered. Hers roars from the shadows. 
    Liv has mastered the art of pretending — pretending she’s okay, pretending she’s strong, pretending she can outrun the echoes of everything she’s survived. But silence has a way of catching up. 
    From childhood scars buried beneath perfect smiles to the relationships that promised rescue but brought more ruin, Liv’s life is a tightrope walk between chaos and clarity. Each chapter unravels secrets too heavy to hold, choices too painful to forget, and a voice that’s fought too long to stay unheard. 
    But this isn’t just a story of survival. 
    It’s a mirror. A message. A map. 
    When Silence Screams doesn’t just take you through Olivia’s journey — it walks beside your own. At the end of every chapter, powerful life lessons pull back the curtain on pain, healing, faith, and freedom. For every woman who’s ever questioned her worth, every girl who’s carried what she couldn’t name, this book becomes more than a memoir — it becomes a guide to coming home to yourself. 
    This is not a story of tragedy. 
    This is a story of becoming.
