The story is set in Milan, which is named after the Second International Congress on the Education of the Deaf held in Milan in 1880 that concluded that speech rather than signing was the best approach to deaf education. The story is told from the point-of-view of someone hired by a university to help hard-of-hearing students cope. Signing is not permitted, and many teachers deliberately make it hard for hard-of-hearing students to succeed. See also 2013 Young.
