Abstract
English Spoken
By Sarah Wallace
A few months after a failed suicide attempt, college drop-out Leah Hollis travels to Costa
Rica alone, claiming she wants an adventure. In reality, she plans to kill herself
somewhere deep in the jungle, where no one will find her until its too late. As Leah
discovers, hostels in Costa Rica all have signs which say "English Spoken," but hardly
anyone speaks English inside. Forced to use her limited Spanish, Leah finds a new way
of communicating, not just with others, but also with herself. Speaking about secrets
which she has long kept silent - first in Spanish and then in English - Leah comes to
understand the thoughts inside her head and how those thoughts, once spoken,
compare with the truth.
