The Things We Never Say

Book Description:

Internationally bestselling and prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout's new novel tells the story of a chance incident in a man's life - a poignant meditation on loneliness, friendship, and free will in a capsizing world.

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.
