Synopsis

‘Because I can’t say what I’m thinking, they think I have no thoughts’.
This original and absorbing novel gives vivid expression to the inner life of Mrs Horton, an elderly woman whose face is disfigured and who is unable to speak following a stroke. A war-widow living out her days in a residential guest house, she is largely ignored by the other residents, but Graham Rawcliffe, a young man who works in the establishment, takes pity on her and responds to her attempts at communication. He gathers she had grown attached to a strange visitor who has since disappeared abruptly and without trace. Touched by the old lady’s distress and curious as to what lies behind the mystery, Graham follows her lead and together they uncover a tragic past and love lost in wartime, before Mrs Horton became an invalid. Powerful, moving and beautifully written, "Unspoken" tells a gripping story full of intrigue and sharply observed characters. It speaks for those whose voices are rarely heard.
