The Things We Cannot Say - Kelly Rimmer

The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew this book was about the war and that it might not be the easiest thing to read. However, the story I found captivated me. Yes, it was heartbreaking and not easy to read indeed, but it was also a story full of hope and love.

I was drawn to it from the very first chapters and once I got into the story, I could not stop reading. It was gripping and it was interesting to read about Poland and to put the pieces of Babcia’s story together.

The author did a wonderful job not only with the story but also with the characters; all of them (and there were plenty) were complex and interesting enough. The pace was good and the way the book is written makes it compelling and equally beautiful. My throat had a huge lump in many parts and there were tears in my eyes, but it was worth it for such an amazing story like this.

I especially loved Alina and Tomasz and their strong love and affection; it was just beautiful to read about them.

I will definitely keep an eye for more of the author’s books and I absolutely recommend it.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the digital copy.
