All the Things Left Unsaid: Confessions of Love and Regret by Michael Harding
Synopsis
Recovering from surgery, Michael Harding travelled to the coast of Donegal to heal in solitude, with the comfort of the ocean around him. As he recuperated, he set himself the task of writing letters to people who had a profound effect on him through his life: old loves, mentors, friends.
The result is a collection of insights into life, death, friendship and love.These letters, expressing an intimacy not previously risked, were never posted. All the Things Left Unsaid is the startlingly honest and moving witness to the power of connection and the importance of saying the things you need to say, before it’s too late.
