Through duel timelines, we see the bonds between a family and the things they cannot say and the things that bring them together. The Things We Cannot Say is available from Amazon. The Things We Cannot Say is a heartbreaking, heartwarming hopeful story that explores love, loss, hardship, sacrifice and the relationships that bond people together. Alina is an innocent young Polish country girl whose country is in the midst of World War II. Straddling the past and the present, The Things We Cannot Say is a mesmerizing tale of family, memory, forgiveness, and unconditional love, but it is also about retrieving lost stories. Sebourn writes this story to within an inch of its life, he keeps the reader on tenterhooks throughout, where one even starts questioning not only the protagonists sanity but even their own!Īgain Sebourn is a must read for me and he should be for you too – if you want something different, if you want to discover a new favourite author… check him out! I’m also thrilled to learn that a short story collection is imminent! 'An intense story of survival, hardship, and heartbreak, The Things We Cannot Say is sure to evoke emotion in even the most cynical reader.'-New York Journal of Books 'Rimmer (Before I Let You Go) gives each story line the space to develop organically, resulting in concluding chapters that tie the two womens stories together in an extremely moving fashion. Written by Kelly Rimmer Review by Hilary Daninhirsch. The possession side of things in this story are done brilliantly, masterfully in fact, the work is reminiscent of the best possession story of all time – The Exorcist. It’s a gripping story that leads the reader with a ring in their nose down to the depths of darkness – it also is an allegory for grief and what happens to a person who has unfinished business, how that anger and unfinished revenge can come back and when it does all bets are off! Among other things, Plato believes that the soul is what gives life to the body (which was articulated most of all in the Laws and Phaedrus) in terms of self-motion: to be alive is to be capable of moving yourself the soul is a self-mover. This story in particular focuses on possession, and of a young woman trying to get her life back on track, but there are people from her past that won’t let go of old grudges – and you might think that you’ve read everything you could about that trope, but Sebourn breathes new life into that tired trope with his unique vision and wonderful prose. In Platos dialogues, we find the soul playing many disparate roles. The Things We Cannot Say is an unshakable reminder of the devastation when truth is silencedand how it can take a lifetime to find our voice before we learn to trust it. The Things We Cannot Say takes all the brilliance of his previous work (that I’ve read) and adds a tonne more brilliance. Mitch Sebourn is a must read for me, his work is so unique and a breath of fresh air to the horror / dark fiction genre.
