The Unspeakable Truth

THE THRILLING NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
LOVE MARRIAGE AND BRICK LANE

Don't make it worse. Don't make a scene. Don't say it out loud.

Best friends Nilofer and Imogen live in the same close London world: thriving careers,
comfortable homes, children at the same good schools. They can tell each other
everything - until suddenly they can't. Then Imogen is murdered.

A man is arrested and the case seems closed, but Nilofer can't shake the sense that
something is off. As her need to understand what happened to her friend begins to
consume her, she realises that saying the truth aloud could shatter everyone's lives all
over again.

The Unspeakable Truth is a propulsive novel from a master storyteller about truth and
lies, family and friendship, class and identity, as well as a profound examination of what
happens when we challenge the stories everyone around us wants to believe.
