The Things We Cannot Say : Rimmer Kelly

A buried family secret. A love tested by war. And a truth that has waited generations to be told.

In 1942, as Nazi occupation tightens its grip on Poland, young Alina Dziak dreams of marrying her childhood sweetheart, Tomasz. But as war transforms her once-peaceful village, families are torn apart, fear replaces certainty, and Tomasz disappears.

Decades later, Alice is struggling to balance the demands of her own family when her beloved grandmother begins desperately trying to communicate something she can no longer put into words.

Her grandmother’s clues send Alice on a journey to Poland in search of answers—and into a family history shaped by war, sacrifice, devastating secrets, and an extraordinary love that survived against impossible odds.

Moving between Nazi-occupied Poland and the present day, The Things We Cannot Say is an emotional story of love, family, survival, and the truths that can remain hidden for generations.

Perfect for readers who love: WWII historical fiction, dual timelines, family secrets, sweeping love stories, emotional family sagas, stories of survival and resilience, and novels such as The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See.
