From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout.
With profound insight and extraordinary emotional depth,The Things We Never Say explores the hidden lives, private griefs and unspoken truths that shape families and friendships.
Artie Dam is a high school history teacher living in a small Massachusetts coastal town. Outwardly, his life appears stable and familiar: a long marriage, devoted friends and a treasured routine. Yet beneath the surface, Artie struggles with loneliness, uncertainty and the growing feeling that even those closest to him remain unknowable.
When an unexpected revelation forces him to confront a secret that changes everything, Artie begins to re-examine his relationships, his past and the assumptions that have guided his life. Set against the backdrop of a changing America, this deeply humane novel explores ageing, isolation, love and the mysteries that connect and divide us.
Quietly powerful and beautifully written, The Things We Never Say confirms Elizabeth Strout as one of the foremost literary voices of our time.
It was the middle of June and the sun all day had kept right on shining with sweet mightiness. “Stay jovial, please, Artie! Just promise me that. Please stay your old jovial self!” Flossie MacDonald had wiped her napkin across her weeping eyes and told this to Artie Dam the last time she had seen him, which had been on this spectacular evening in June. And he assured her that he would.
They had gone to Spud’s Bar and Grille, the place near Artie’s house that was right there on the water on the coast of Massachusetts; the bay, seen through the windows, was calm, and many boats sat there quietly, sailboats and fishing boats and boats large enough to sleep eight people.
