Synopsis

Aria is no stranger to tragedy-as a young girl, she and her older sister and mother survived a car crash that took the lives of their father and beloved baby sister. And although relations with her remaining family are strained, she's done her best to establish a solid, normal life for herself, living in Atlanta and teaching literacy to girls who have fallen on hard times. But now she has a secret that she's not yet ready to share with Dwayne, her devoted boyfriend, or Rochelle, her roommate and best friend: Aria is pregnant. Or so she thinks. The truth is enough to make her question her every assumption, and reevaluate the life she has worked so hard to build for herself.

Media Reviews
'The Untelling is the story of deep hurt and slow realization, injury and recovery, and the way people genuinely change their lives. I love it' Dorothy Allison, author of Cavedweller 'Tayari Jones is a remarkable novelist, able to face down the tragedies of life with the clarity and beauty and even the dark humor of a true artist. And she has unerring storytelling instincts. The Untelling is a wonderful book and Tayari Jones is a flat-out brilliant writer' - Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
