About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The funny, moving and uplifting new novel from Ruth Jones, co-creator of Gavin & Stacey and author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Never Greener and Us Three.

The joyful Sunday Times bestseller and Richard and Judy Book Club pick.


Grace is about to turn ninety. She doesn't want parties or presents or fuss. She just wants to heal the family rift that's been breaking her heart for decades.

But to do that she must find her daughter Alys - the only person who can help to put things right.

And when she finds her - if she does - she risks betraying granddaughter Elin. Who is far less forgiving of the past, with its hurts and secrets and lies. Meanwhile Grace's great-grand-daughter Beca is oblivious to all these worries, too busy navigating the highs and lows of teenage life and keeping secrets of her own.

All families have their problems. And most of them get resolved. But Grace's problem is thirty years old. And she doesn't have time on her side.

So is it too late for her to make peace? Or is reconciliation still within reach?

Love Untold is about mothers and daughters and the complex bond between them. It's about the heartache that comes from leaving things unsaid and the power of true forgiveness. It is a joy-filled, life-affirming, sob-inducing novel - with characters you'll come to know and love - from no.1 bestselling author Ruth Jones.

Beautiful

This is a beautiful story. It may not be high literature but it is bursting with heart. I loved recalling Welsh mothers I have known in the figure of Grace, and enjoyed hanging out with Nessa’s ‘thin twin’ Soozie. Great to have a story about the elderly too. More please, Ruth!

Just wonderful

I’m a massive fan of Ruth Jones on screen and now I’m obsessed with her work in book form.
Such an incredible story with so many layers. Much of the book made me smile and along with the smiles, I have cried at many of the moments. So powerful. I’m now off to listen to Ruth’s other books.

A story I didn't want to end

I loved this story and was truly sorry it had to end. Narrated wonderfully by Ruth who brings the characters and their worlds to life in both her writing and her narration. Well done!

Really lovely book

The characters really came to life with Ruth narrating. I enjoyed the story, I thought it took a while to get into a flow. I did not work out the twist and that was a good addition and made me think about the other chapters that had gone by..
