Unsaid: A Novel | Neil Abramson
10 posts | 14 read | 9 to read
In this explosive debut novel, Neil Abramson explores the beauty and redemptive power of human-animal relationships and the true meaning of communication in all of its diverse forms. As a veterinarian, Helena was required to choose when to end the lives of the terminally ill animals in her care. Now that she has died, she is afraid to face them and finally admit to herself that her thirty-seven years of life were meaningless, error-ridden, and forgettable. So Helena lingers, a silent observer haunted by the life she left behind-her shattered attorney husband, David; her houseful of damaged but beloved animals; and her final project, Cindy, a chimpanzee trained to use sign language who may be able to unlock the mysteries of animal communication and consciousness. When Cindy is scheduled for a research experiment that will undoubtedly take her life, David must call upon everything he has learned from Helena to save her. In the explosive courtroom drama that follows, all the threads of Helena's life entwine and tear as Helena and David confront their mistakes, grief, and loss and discover what it really means to be human. Abramson's next novel, JUST LIFE, published in May 2016.

Nope. Nope nope nope. The way the characters talked? Nope. The male author writing as a dead female veterinarian? Nope. The end?!? NOPE. (Ok, it wasn‘t TERRIBLE, but I truly disliked this book). (22)
⭐️: 1.75/5

You know, it‘s really hard to say no to such a cute face, but I think this is going to be a DNF for me. Maybe I‘m just spoiled by excellent writing this year so far, but the writing here didn‘t do it for me. A little cheesy, a little too much stereotype, and a little emotional manipulation all before page 60. Next!

If you've ever loved an animal, I would suggest this book. If you've ever had to say goodbye to an animal, I would highly suggest you read this book. It's a wonderful exploration of the place that animals have alongside us in the world, and what we can learn from them while they're with us.

And if you're not a robot, you might want to have tissues handy. I did not, and it was a mistake!
