'For a book to be a book it can't speak only to you. It has to be for everyone.’
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.
Visceral, rageful, artful and true, 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?
Antonella Lattanzi is an Italian author and screenwriter living in Rome. She has written five widely acclaimed novels which have been translated into several languages. Her novel Cose che non si raccontano (Things That Go Unspoken) won the 2024 Wondy Prize and was longlisted for the 2024 Strega Prize. Lattanzi has also written several screenplays – including Fiore, directed by Claudio Giovannesi, and Il Campione and Una storia nera, directed by Leonardo D’Agostini – and is a regular contributor to Corriere della Sera.
Jamie Richards is a distinguished translator of Italian literature.
