The Things We Never Say
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE PULITZER-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED ELIZABETH STROUT COMES A STUNNING STANDALONE NOVEL OF LOVE, LONELINESS AND NEW BEGINNINGS' Strout is brilliant at uncovering what goes on beneath the surface of ordinary life' THE TIMES'Emotionally stunning, devastatingly wise . . . her best novel yet' RACHEL JOYCE''Elizabeth Strout writes extraordinary fiction about ordinary people' TELEGRAPH'A moving, tender and wise novel about a committed teacher who is utterly confounded by the emotional complexities of daily life. This might be Elizabeth Strout's best yet' CLARE CHAMBERS Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad-at himself and the people around him-and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear-and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart. ***PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH STROUT:'A terrific writer' ZADIE SMITH'A superbly gifted storyteller' HILARY MANTEL'Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers' ANN PATCHETT'She gets better with each book' MAGGIE O'FARRELL'A beautiful read' OPRAH WINFREY'Strout is, as ever, wonderfully attentive life's escapable cruelties and woes' SUNDAY TIMES

Familiensache
Eine verbotene Liebe und ihre Folgen. Das mitreißende Literaturdebüt über eine Familie, die durch die Moralvorstellungen der damaligen Zeit auseinandergerissen wird.Ein Haus, einen Ehemann, ein Baby: Eigentlich hat Dawn alles, was man sich im England der 1980er-Jahre wünschen sollte. Doch dann lernt sie Hazel kennen und beginnt zu ahnen, welches andere Leben möglich wäre. Plötzlich ist alles viel heller - und komplizierter. Denn Dawn hat Verpflichtungen: Dawn hat ihre kleine Tochter Maggie. Jahrzehnte später ist Dawn für Maggie nur eine schattenhafte Erinnerung. Ihr Vater Heron hat sie allein großgezogen, die beiden sind ein Herz und eine Seele. Als Heron eine Diagnose erhält, die sein Leben völlig auf den Kopf stellt, erzählt er Maggie zunächst nichts davon. Denn über unbequeme Wahrheiten hat er schon immer lieber geschwiegen - so wie über das, was 1982 passiert ist ... In ebenso zarte wie sprachmächtige Prosa gegossen und mit warmherzigen Figuren gespickt, stellt Claire Lynch in Familiensache die Frage, was eine Familie ausmacht und wie die Wunden der Vergangenheit heilen können. 'Ich habe diesen zarten, herzzerreißenden Roman in einem Tag verschlungen und werde für immer an ihn denken müssen.' Barbara Kingsolver
