NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this “profound, resplendent novel”* from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout, a chance incident sparks a powerful realization in a beloved teacher’s life.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE SUMMER
“Strout’s capacious empathy and rigorous attention to the nuances of human behavior and psychology are as evident as ever.”—The Boston Globe

“Artie Dam is someone you may never be able to forget.”—Financial Times*

Artie Dam is living a double life. He spends his days teaching history to eleventh graders, 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 neighbors, 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.

Elizabeth Strout, as we have come to expect, delivers a moving exploration of the human condition—one that brims with compassion for each and every one of her indelible characters. With exquisite prose and profound insight, The Things We Never Say takes one man’s fears and loneliness and makes them universal. And in the same breath, captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all. Belletristik Familienleben Freundschaft

I loved everything about this book. I wish everybody would read it. Elizabeth Strout’s insight into human nature is profound. I have read every one of her books so far, and then have disappointed.

Very timely and spot on

Elizabeth Strout ist ein Genie, und dieser Roman einer ihrer besten. Artie Dam wird mir für immer im Gedächtnis bleiben.

Eine Offenbarung

All characters are real. The situations are more than plausible. Lessons learned and the interactions that result are thought provoking. All together a lesson in reality resulting from a fantastical world.

Depth of thought and character

Great, surprising, really touching story. And the narrator is absolutely brilliant, a joy in itself! Really strongly reccomend.

Great all around
