The moment his granddaughter Louise is born, David learns that he has cancer. But words were never his forte, and he'd rather keep quiet about his illness, the pain and the end that awaits him – much to the frustration of the women in his life. They wait, powerless, for the silent but inexorable end.



Nominated for an Eisner Award in 2014, When David Lost His Voice is a deft portrayal of a family preparing for life after loss – at once bleak and beautiful, heartbreaking and profound.
