The number one bestselling book from the beloved memoirist and Irish Times columnist Michael Harding.

NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

'A beautiful book of great tenderness, love of life, and wisdom' JOSEPH O'CONNOR

For almost fifty years, Michael Harding has been crafting words in a bid to express himself and to explore truths about the human condition. But even still he found himself unable to say certain things he really wanted to. Then, while in recovery from surgery, he travelled to a cottage on the Atlantic coast and thought again about life and the people who had profoundly affected him over the years: mentors, loves and old friends.

There at the ocean he wrote letters, with an intimacy not previously risked. Letters that would never be posted but that appear now in All the Things Left Unsaid - a vulnerable and beautifully wrought collection of insights into life, death, friendship and love.

'Searingly honest ... Harding's narrative seems to rest on the pulse of Ireland' The Irish Times
