The Things We'll Never Have

By: Hilary Hauck

Narrated by: Megan Green

Everleigh’s arrival in a small Italian town forces the residents to confront their past and present shameful—and occasionally honorable—actions in this masterfully woven tale that blends mystery and psychological drama.

Everleigh’s dreams are crushed when her fiancé disappears weeks before the wedding she was counting on to color her otherwise dull existence in 1964 London. Driven by a need for closure and armed with letters from Gualtiero’s family as clues, Everleigh travels to Italy, convinced that he has returned to his roots. But when the man everyone claims is Gualtiero walks in the room, she finds herself staring into the face of a stranger.

Everleigh’s quest is no longer to find out where her fiancé is, but who he is. Her search takes an enthralling twist as she forges alliances with two unlikely companions. Together, they peel back the layers of hidden truths to unearth shocking revelations that set them on a collision course and shatter the foundation of everything they believed about family… and even their own identities. Winner of the Historical Fiction Company's “Highly Recommended” Award of Excellence, The Things We’ll Never Have is a gripping tale of kinship, broken trust, and self-discovery painted against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s Italy.
