Their relationship explores themes of forbidden love, resilience, and hope amidst unimaginable hardship.Praise for Unmentionables:'One of the best novels of the year for any grown-up-a truly life-affirming read.' - Kindle Nation Daily'Superb gay historical fiction with a contemporary relevance. An enlightening exploration of the hidden aspects of our past.

The characters are beautifully crafted, their emotions genuine and compelling. An emotionally resonant and redemptive story, with richly detailed minor characters that breathe life into every page.' - IndieReader
