Rachel’s relationship with her mother, Eleanor, has always been far from perfect. Eleanor is a renowned artist born from the swinging sixties, and Rachel has forever lived in the shadow of her success.
When Rachel is left by her fiancé on the morning of their wedding she has no choice but to move back into her family home and spend an unbearably hot summer with a mother she feels distant from – in the presence of many painful memories.
It will take another turn of events before Rachel realises that sometimes the past holds exactly the comfort we need. And that behind the words left unsaid are untold stories that have the power to define us.
Imbued with warmth and full of characters who will steal your heart, THE THINGS WE LEFT UNSAID is a radiant novel in which past and present collide with life-affirming consequences.

A beautiful novel . . . so tender and thoughtful. I loved it.
A gorgeous, rich treat A joyous book Gorgeous. . . The Things We Left Unsaid is about how we are always searching for who we are and trying to find out the truth of the past,’ This book is incredibly special… I cared so deeply for all of the characters. A radiant novel. Moving back and forth between Eleanor’s student life in swinging 60s London and the present, this is a moving story of families and the secrets they keep. Beautifully written, the examination of the mother/daughter relationship elevates what is already a warm and compelling read. My favourite book of the year Expand reviews
