Description

Are we ready to listen to the unspoken words around us?

His wife's voice was unmistakable. She was moaning and sighing, and he could hear his divan creaking. How he wished he had not come home that night. He was a mere mortal. His heart had betrayed him. What can he do?

Somewhere else in the world, a child watches her father bullied into submission, while another is teased for his queer choices by those he trusts. Will the soft voices of the weak ever be heard?

Nothing — not even death — was going to stop her from joining her family during the annual lantern festival celebrations. The dead do walk amongst us, don't they?

When the sun sets in the forest, a woman pays the price for ignoring the village elders' beliefs. Is there any truth to these old wives' tales?

Fifteen stories, all set in Asia. Fifteen storytellers, who have mastered the art of laying bare the human psyche. Stories of pain, and power, and good fighting the bad. Stories that take you to the mystical dark side. Stories that knot family ties in darkness.

This is the Unsaid — An Asian Anthology.
