Unsaid is a debut book from author Neil Abramson and I hope it is no the last because i fall in love with the way Neil Abramson write the sentences. The language was not just beautifully written but there were a few sentences I shivered with how much I felt while reading them. Unsaid tells an inspiring story about the relationships among people and animals.

Published by Center Street on August 4th 2011, this story is powerful and has a real emotional impact, whether you are an animal lover or not. Abramson has done a masterful job of presenting well-developed characters who have known deep pain and disappointment, but learn to focus on hope for a better future.

Summary

UNSAID is told from the perspective of Helena Colden, a veterinarian who has just died of breast cancer. Helena is forced to witness the rapid emotional deterioration of her husband David. With Helena's passing, David, a successful Manhattan attorney, loses the only connection that made his life full. He tries to carry on the life that Helena had created for them, but he is too grief-stricken, too angry, and too quickly reabsorbed into the demands of his career. Helena's animals likewise struggle with the loss of their understanding and compassionate human companion. Because of Helena, David becomes involved in a court case to save the life of a chimpanzee that may hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of animals consciousness. Through this case all the threads of Helena's life entwine and explode - unexpectedly, painfully, beautifully.
