Love untold

Ruth Jones

Four generations of one family. Four women: Grace, Alys, Elin and Beca. Each of them has a secret. Each has been misunderstood. And each of them longs for just one thing... to feel loved. Thirty-two years ago, Alys's destructive relationship with both her mother Grace and daughter Elin reached a new low and she left under a cloud of anger. The family's not spoken to her since. Now Grace is about to turn ninety and she secretly longs to see Alys again. Even though she knows Elin will be furious after vowing never to forgive her mother for how she behaved. And in amongst all this is young Beca, who's never even met Alys - in fact she's always believed her grandmother to be dead. But then again, Beca is busy with her own life, navigating the highs and lows of first love. No family is without its problems. Can the Meredith women find their way back together and tell each other how they truly feel? Love Untold explores the complex yet indestructible bond between mothers and daughters, and the heartache that miscommunication can bring. It's a joy-filled, heart-rending, life-affirming and sob-inducing story, peopled with characters you'll feel you know personally
