In 1942, Europe remains in the relentless grip of war.
Just beyond the tents of the Russian refugee camp she calls home, a young woman
speaks her wedding vows. It’s a decision that will alter her destiny…and it’s a
lie that will remain buried until the next century.
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.
