Ebook-The Things We Never Say

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Olive Kitteridge and Lucy by the Sea comes an exquisite, deeply moving novel about the unspoken truths that define our lives, and the quiet moments that change them forever.

Some secrets are kept to protect others. Some are kept out of fear. But what happens to the things we never say?

Set against the luminous, bittersweet backdrop of a small coastal town, Elizabeth Strout’s latest masterpiece explores the intricate web of a family bound together by love, duty, and decades of silence. When an unexpected event forces long-buried memories to the surface, the residents of this tight-knit community are made to confront the gaps between what they feel and what they are able to express.

With her trademark empathy, razor-sharp observation, and profound understanding of the human condition, Strout illuminates the ordinary mysteries of daily life—the complex relationships between parents and children, the lingering ghosts of past choices, and the powerful grace found in unexpected honesty.

A beautifully layered, emotionally radiant novel, The Things We Never Say is a tender exploration of hope, regret, and the remarkable resilience of the human heart. It is a stunning addition to the work of one of America's finest literary voices, perfect for readers of Ann Patchett, Marilynne Robinson, and Kent Haruf.
