The bestselling author of the award-winning international sensation Deafening returns to the period following the First World War with a tour de force-an extraordinary novel of secrets withheld and secrets revealed.
In 1919, only months after the end of the Great War, the men and women of Deseronto struggle to recover from wounds of the past, both visible and hidden. Kenan, a young soldier who has returned from the war damaged and disfigured, confines himself to his small house on the Bay of Quinte, wandering outside only under the cover of night. His wife, Tress, attempting to adjust to the trauma that overwhelms her husband and which has changed their marriage, seeks advice from her Aunt Maggie. Maggie, along with her husband, Am, who cares for the town clock tower, have their own sorrows, which lie unacknowledged between them. Maggie finds joy in her friendship with a local widow and in the Choral Society started by Lukas, a Music Director who has moved to the town from an unknown place in war-torn Europe. While rehearsing and performing, Maggie rediscovers a part of herself that she had long set aside. As the decade draws to a close and the lives of these beautifully-drawn characters become more entwined, each of them must decide what to share and what to hide, and how their actions will lead them into the future.
With the narrative power and writerly grace for which she is celebrated, Frances Itani has crafted a deeply moving, emotionally rich story about the burdens of the past. She shows us how, ultimately, the very secrets we bury to protect ourselves can also be the cause of our undoing. Tell is stunning achievement.

Finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize
Praise for TELL
"Powerful conversations are balanced with deft portrayals of grief and pain, sentiments made palatable by Itani’s thoughtful prose... Unsettling but never hopeless, Tell thoughtfully acknowledges a sad reality...It is an invitation to speak, share and commiserate—an invocation to tell those things that seem forbidden and foregone."—ZYZZYVA
“Itani’s gorgeous gift for writing quietly absorbing stories of torn lives bravely trying to carry on is on full display here with all the power of her previous novels.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“Masterful … a triumph of the human spirit that resonates almost physically in the reader… An enthralling reminder of the toll the war—and all wars— take, not only on the soldiers but on the families who keep faith on the home front.”— The Toronto Star
“A wonderful story, with a richly detailed sense of time and place, and compelling characters who, ultimately, all have secrets to tell.”—Winnipeg Free Press
