Things That Go Unspoken

From the award-winning Italian writer: an unflinching exploration of conception, loss and conflicting perspectives on motherhood.

‘For a book to be a book it can't speak only to you. It has to be for everyone.'

She has never told anyone about her previous pregnancies or abortions. Not even her doctors. But after four years struggling to conceive end in the loss of three babies at once, Antonella Lattanzi finally decides to share her story.

Visceral, rageful, artful and true, Things That Go Unspoken is a novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever asked: Why is it easy for everyone else to get pregnant but me? Will I have to abandon my dreams to have a child? Do I even want to be a mother?
