Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

The Enduring Echo of Words Unsaid is a work of fiction in the interpersonal drama, family ties, and slice-of-life subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience and was penned by Michael Bowe. In this fascinating work about relationships and communication, we follow the life and experiences of Alex Bryant, whose world is rocked by a series of words he neither imagined nor wanted to hear. Rocketed into an emotional and psychological journey, Alex explores his past with his late father and the future with his stepson, Matt, and along the way both father and son learn the true meaning of connection and family.

Michael Bowe writes with the heart, soul, and mind and it’s an uplifting and cathartic experience to read a story of his. One of the most commendable and engaging elements of this novel was the narrative skill of getting inside Alex’s head and exploring his turmoil when his world is tipped upside down. It was a reminder of all the overwhelming feelings we can experience when past incidents are triggered and resurface. I felt his pain but was also deeply invested in the storyline as he worked to explore and overcome it. This is a novel filled with love and hope just as much as struggle and heartache, and that sinks deeply into your soul when you’ve put it down. The Enduring Echo of Words Unsaid is a work that I would highly recommend to fans of deeply-considered emotional narratives, intense family dramas, and thought-provoking fiction.
