Told with Itani’s signature power and grace, Tell is both a deeply moving story about the burdens of the past, and a beautifully rendered reminder of how the secrets we bury to protect ourselves can also be the cause of our undoing.

Praise for TELL
"Powerful conversations are balanced with deft portrayals of grief and pain, sentiments made palatable by Itani’s thoughtful prose... Unsettling but never hopeless, Tell thoughtfully acknowledges a sad reality...It is an invitation to speak, share and commiserate an invocation to tell those things that seem forbidden and foregone." ZYZZYVA
Itani’s gorgeous gift for writing quietly absorbing stories of torn lives bravely trying to carry on is on full display here with all the power of her previous novels.” Library Journal (starred review)
Masterful a triumph of the human spirit that resonates almost physically in the reader An enthralling reminder of the toll the war and all wars take, not only on the soldiers but on the families who keep faith on the home front.” The Toronto Star
A wonderful story, with a richly detailed sense of time and place, and compelling characters who, ultimately, all have secrets to tell.” Winnipeg Free Press
