Why read it?
1 author picked Things Unsaid as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Things Unsaid provides the best reason why not everyone who marries should have children. Seriously, if you don’t like children, don’t have children! And yet, we can still be entertained by reading about those mothers who don’t deserve the title. Diana Y. Paul’s novel paints an in-depth character study while also examining the hardship that follows neglected children after they enter adulthood, trying to fit into their new roles as parents and caregivers of aging parents.
Best read with a red Zinfandel (Just to be clear…red, not white).
From Heidi's list on family dysfunction to read while drinking.
