About the book

Lyn Rowe was born in Melbourne in 1962, seven months after her mother Wendy was given a new 'wonder drug' for morning sickness called thalidomide. In 2011 Rowe launched a legal claim against the thalidomide companies. Against the odds, she won a multimillion-dollar settlement. Former journalist Michael Magazanik is one of the lawyers who ran Lyn's case; In Silent Shock he exposes a 50-year cover up concerning history's most notorious drug, and details not only the damning case against manufacturers but also the moving story of the Rowe family.
