BookTalkers: The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout

The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout

Artie Dam is the kind of high school teacher who can make history come alive and have a life-changing effect on his students. He is also a man plagued by feelings of isolation from those who should be closest to him, and by a world that seems to have gone mad. One day, Artie learns of a secret that has been kept 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 his existence. The Things We Never Say takes one man’s fears and loneliness and makes them universal, while at the same time captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all.
