About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The funny, moving and uplifting new novel from Ruth Jones, co-creator of Gavin & Stacey and author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Never Greener and Us Three.

The joyful Sunday Times bestseller and Richard and Judy Book Club pick.


Grace is about to turn ninety. She doesn't want parties or presents or fuss. She just wants to heal the family rift that's been breaking her heart for decades.

But to do that she must find her daughter Alys - the only person who can help to put things right.

And when she finds her - if she does - she risks betraying granddaughter Elin. Who is far less forgiving of the past, with its hurts and secrets and lies. Meanwhile Grace's great-grand-daughter Beca is oblivious to all these worries, too busy navigating the highs and lows of teenage life and keeping secrets of her own.

All families have their problems. And most of them get resolved. But Grace's problem is thirty years old. And she doesn't have time on her side.

So is it too late for her to make peace? Or is reconciliation still within reach?

Love Untold is about mothers and daughters and the complex bond between them. It's about the heartache that comes from leaving things unsaid and the power of true forgiveness. It is a joy-filled, life-affirming, sob-inducing novel - with characters you'll come to know and love - from no.1 bestselling author Ruth Jones.

Incredibly beautiful

Gently, fittingly undulating like the Welsh valleys, this novel takes you through the whole gamut of human emotions whilst on a inter-generational journey through time and social change. Never predictable and with a resolution based on the unexpected, the ending is satisfying but I was sad this wonderful novel had to end at all. Just loved Ruth as the narrator so I’m glad I listened rather than read as my inner voice would not have made the characters come alive like she did. My garden’s come on a treat with the time I spent in it listening to this!

A pleasure to return to for each instalment.
