Every Word Unsaid

 

Back Cover

Augusta Travers has spent the last three years avoiding the stifling expectations of New York society and her family's constant disappointment. As the nation's most fearless - and reviled - columnist, Gussie travels the country with her Kodak camera and spins stories for women unable to leave hearth and home. But when her adventurous nature lands her in the middle of a scandal, an opportunity to leave America offers the perfect escape.

Arriving in India, she expects only a nice visit with childhood friends, siblings Catherine and Gabriel, and escapades that will further her career. Instead, she finds herself facing a plague epidemic, confusion over Gabriel's sudden appeal, and the realization that what she wants from life is changing. But slowing down means facing all the hurts of her past that she's long been trying to outrun. And that may be an undertaking too great even for her.

Review

Every Word Unsaid is another beautiful masterpiece by Kimberly Duffy. Through this and a previous novel of hers I've read, A Tapestry of Light, she has made me a lifelong fan of her books (Mosaic of Wings is in my TBR pile :) ). I love how rich and deeply textured she writes her stories. From teasing out fascinating historical detail, describing rich settings, to creating wonderful characters that I absolutely adore, Ms. Duffy is a magician with words. In Every Word Unsaid she brings Gussie on a huge journey of faith and self-discovery, taking her from her home in New York, that housed her critical and spiteful family, to India, a land full of adventures, culture, romance, and, as Gussie learns, true sorrow. 

I honestly did not want the story to end! It was rich, thought-provoking, and satisfying; a story I will revisit again and again.
