Publisher's Summary:
A searing debut novel from the award-winning author of You Know When the Men Are Gone, about jealousy, the unpredictable path of friendship, and the secrets kept in marriage, all set within the US expat community of the Middle East during the rise of the Arab Spring.
Both Cassie Hugo and Margaret Brickshaw dutifully followed their soldier husbands to the US embassy in Jordan, but that's about all the women have in common. After two years Cassie's become an expert on the rules, but newly arrived Margaret sees only her chance to explore. So when a fender bender sends Margaret to the local police station, Cassie reluctantly agrees to watch Margaret's toddler son. But as the hours pass, Cassie's boredom and frustration turn to fear: Why isn't Margaret answering her phone, and why is it taking so long to sort out a routine accident? Snooping around Margaret's apartment, Cassie begins to question not only her friend's whereabouts but also her own role in Margaret's disappearance.
With achingly honest prose and riveting characters, The Confusion of Languages plunges listeners into a shattering collision between two women and two worlds, affirming Siobhan Fallon as a powerful voice in American fiction and a storyteller not to be missed.

Members Reviews:
as good as i was hoping
loved it. i was excited for this novel after reading her first collection of short stories. she writes with such insight and compassion- for all involved. it encourages the read to focus inward to review our own motivations. excellent

Depressing
A downbeat look at the lives of (2) military wives in Jordan, 2011. I found both of these characters very unsympathetic. They made terrible decisions with disastrous consequences. The story was depressing.

Bad!
Terrible book. Unintelligent a waste of my time. I think what I disliked the most is that the author presents American expatriate women as stupid. And of course the performances reinforced this last characteristic.
