'A triumph of family story-telling' Hugo Hamilton, author of The
Pages. A tale of three journeys, the final one a successful pursuit
of shadows' Myles Dungan Growing up in Waterford, Tom McGrath never
noticed the odd gaps in the stories of his parents' lives before he
was born; it was only many years after they died that he uncovered
the unspoken truths, which did so much to explain the people they
had been. Here he tells the incredible true story of his father's
conscription into the British Army, his escape from a
prisoner-of-war camp in Poland, his daring journey across Europe
and subsequent recapture - and the devastating news that awaited
him in England. Tom's research also led him to discover that his
mother also carried a heartbreaking secret. In writing this book
Tom not only recreated his father's nail-biting escape but also
embarked on a journey of his own to reconnect with previously
unknown family members. Unspoken pieces together an extraordinarily
rare tale that encompasses memoir, family history, and two parallel
stories that were almost lost for ever.
