'I've learned that hope is like when you look at the sun for too long. First there's light, then the light becomes too much and burns your retina: everything goes black.' She has never told anyone about her previous pregnancies or abortions. Not even her doctors. But after four years struggling to conceive end in the loss of three babies at once, Antonella Lattanzi finally decides to share her story. With extraordinary narrative force, Lattanzi explores abortion, infertility, assisted conception, a ferocious rage towards the world and a desire that will stop at nothing. Things That Go Unspoken is a novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever asked: Why is it easy for everyone else to get pregnant but me? Will I have to abandon my dreams to have a child? Do I even want to be a mother?
