FROM THE PULITZER-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED ELIZABETH STROUT COMES A STUNNING STANDALONE NOVEL OF LOVE, LONELINESS AND NEW BEGINNINGS<\/b><\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 <\/i>is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart. <\/b><\/p>\n

He goes about his days teaching American history to high schoolers, correcting their casual ignorance, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He spends his free time sailing the beautiful Massachusetts Bay, or with his adult son and his wife of more than three decades – and as Artie does these things, he plans the event that will forever change the world he inhabits. But when a startling accident awakens a new perspective in Artie, and he realizes that life has its own secret it’s been keeping from him – along with a lot more to say on the weighty matters of fate and freedom in his home and his country – he charts another course full of grief, hilarity and heart, to a place where the end marks the beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[216,26102,16450],"product_tag":[27024,27025,27026,26830,26843],"class_list":["post-118277","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-fiction-hardback","product_cat-signed-and-special-editions","product_cat-website-home-page-carousel","product_tag-narrative-theme-death","product_tag-grief","product_tag-loss","product_tag-modern-contemporary-fiction","product_tag-narrative-theme-interior-life","pa_book_author-strout-elizabeth","pa_cover-hardback","pa_dewey-813-6-edition23","pa_edition-hardback-original","pa_imprint-viking","pa_language-english","pa_pages-8500","pa_publisher-viking","pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","first","instock","sale","sold-individually","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
