She has built the perfect life: a husband who adores her, a daughter she is fiercely proud of, a home with warmth and love at its heart. But things were not always so good, and in order to get where she is today she has done things she can never admit. Then one winter's evening a phone call comes out of the blue. At the other end of the line is a voice from her past, the past she has tried so hard to hide. Scott knows who she really is and what she has done. But now he is dying and he gives her an ultimatum: either she goes to the police and confesses everything, or he will.

Review:
"A riveting and vivid novel about a woman who is forced to examine her past. As the narration gracefully alternates between the contemporary and 1976, the reader is pulled deeper and deeper into the narrator’s world, the increasing sense of doom making this a book impossible to put down. Elliot Wright spins a powerful and haunting story where love and loss collide, where impulsive decisions change lives, and where redemption is hard earned." Ann Weisgarber, author of The Promise and The Personal History of Rachel DuPree
"Equal parts mystery and philosophical exploration, Wright’s second novel challenges readers with difficult questions about love and morality." Booklist
"This quiet, mournful book explores the ties between mothers and children and how the past reverberates into the present. ...Readers who relish literary novels with occasional twists will be absorbed by this story." Library Journal
"Skillfully shows the drama of youth and how growing wiser with age is not always easy. Susan Elliot Wright is a straightforward writer that embedded twists and turns in the story to keep the reader guessing." Portland Book Review

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. *** From the author of the acclaimed The Flight of Cornelia Blackwood *** It was a summer of love, and a summer of secrets She has built a good life: a husband who adores her, a daughter she is fiercely proud of, a home with warmth and love at its heart. But things were not always so good, and the truth is that she has done things she can never admit. Then one evening a phone call comes out of the blue. It is a voice from long ago, from a past that she has tried so hard to hide. Scott knows who she really is and what she has done. Now he is dying and he gives her an ultimatum: either she tells the truth, or he will. And so we are taken back to that long hot summer of 1976 to a house by the sea, where her story begins and where the truth will be revealed Praise for The Things We Never Said: 'Passionate, intriguing and beautifully written, The Things We Never Said deserves to stand on the shelf next to Maggie O'Farrell's books. A powerful and talented new voice' Rachel Hore, bestselling author of The Love Child 'If you love Maggie O'Farrell, you will love this' Veronica Henry, bestselling author of The Long Weekend 'A brave and moving story about how much can be lost and what happens next' Alison Moore, author of Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse.
