"Graydon House's ISBN is 9781525823565 Synopsis: Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now fifteen and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina's tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears. Where Alina used to measure time between visits from her beloved, now she measures the spaces between hope and despair, waiting for word from Tomasz and avoiding the attentions of the soldiers who patrol her parents' farm. But for now, even deafening silence is preferable to grief. Slipping between Nazi-occupied Poland and the frenetic pace of modern life, Kelly Rimmer creates an emotional and finely wrought narrative that weaves together two women's stories into a tapestry of perseverance, loyalty, love and honor. The Things We Cannot Say is an unshakable reminder of the devastation when truth is silenced...and how it can take a lifetime to find our voice before we learn to trust it."--

Another Book I've Fallen in Love With
This book is beautifully written. A WWII story that takes place in Poland, with two lovers that have to face the evil of the war head on. I promise readers that you will not be able to put this one down. It definitely got me feeling all the emotions and it's just very heartbreaking. I would highly recommend this history novel for all readers.

I’ve read quite a few books with stories around WWII but this one really connected for me. Beautiful character development and authentic events involving the invasion of Poland. Best book I’ve read in months.

This was a very heartwarming story and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It brought out another interesting angle about how WW2 affected people in different countries in Europe. Even though I started to figure things out, there were still some surprises along the way. Well written with characters that I could easily see and hear in my mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and poignant
Reviewed in Italy on March 3, 2022

After reading this book, one cannot help but compare the terrible invasion of Poland in 1939 with the senseless invasion taking place in Ukraine today. Perhaps that is why Poland is so ready to assist the refugees pouring into its country today, because the memory of what happened so long ago is still in everyone's mind.

Why don't we learn from our past mistakes?

Alina and Tomasz are childhood sweethearts. The night before he leaves for university in Warsaw, he proposes to her. But when her village of Trzebinia falls into Nazi hands, Alina doesn't know whether Tomasz is dead or alive.

The story is told in two timelines, both equally compelling. It is 2019 when Alice's Polish grandmother suffers a stroke and has little time to live. Unable to speak, she desperately conveys the urge to seek out Tomasz in Poland. But Tomasz was Alice's grandfather, who died last year. Is Grandma suffering from a memory lapse or is she hiding a bigger secret?

I absolutely loved this book. The characters were multi-layered and so imperfect that they seemed real. We follow Alice, who struggles with a young son with Asperger's Syndrome, a prodigy daughter and a work-addicted husband as she travels to Poland and begins to uncover a heartbreaking story that will touch her family in more ways than one. I braced myself for the ugly cry I knew was coming and I wasn't wrong. It made me feel so many emotions. 😢

The writing style was exquisite and I loved how each chapter slowly brought us closer to the truth as I hoped Grandma 𝐵𝑎𝑏𝑐𝑖𝑎 would hang on until Alice could give her the answer she had been waiting for.

This is a poignant story of loss, sacrifice, unconditional love and family bonds. Can't recommend it enough.

Ce livre raconte, en parallèle, deux histoires: celle d'Alina, une jeune fille qui vit en Pologne pendant l'occupation nazi, et celle d'Alice, une femme qui vit en Florida en 2019. Le livre est juste génial et il permet de découvrir, en meme temps, la vie pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale et la vie d'une famille avec un enfant autiste aujourd'hui.
