For Alys, Grace’s daughter, Elin’s mother she has been constantly running from herself and has come close throughout her life to time running out. Estranged from all of her family, blaming Grace for what has happened to her, it seems ironic that she suddenly reappears in all their lives.

Rich in warm, engaging characters and a judicious mix of humour and pathos... it's a compassionate, wise and life-affirming book The Observer In her new novel Love Untold, Ruth Jones invites us into the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters through raw and believable characterisation. With Grace’s 90th birthday looming, the lives of the Meredith women begin to unravel as they are forced to confront the past, and revelations boil to the surface. Firstly , each character was beautifully written , with their own complexities. Each character was realistic and I have fallen in love with Grace , she is such a strong woman and as a Welsh woman myself , I see a lot of my own grandmothers in her. Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla will shoot new movie in Spain". Philippine Entertainment Portal.Ruth Jones is best known for her outstanding and award-winning television writing, most notably BBC One's Gavin and Stacey, which she co-wrote with James Corden and in which she played the incorrigible Nessa Jenkins. The 2019 Christmas Day special of Gavin and Stacey gained national critical acclaim, drawing an audience of over 18 million, winning a BAFTA for TV moment of the year and a National Television Award for Impact. Ruth also created and co-wrote Sky One's Stella, which ran for six series. Ruth has starred in several other television comedies and dramas.

Ruth Jones: I’ve got to get on with the fourth book now, so goodness knows what I’m going to come up with for that! But I was in this position before Love Untold. I didn’t know what it was going to be. So I’m taking comfort in that – that I’ll be able to come up with an idea, even though I haven’t got a slightest idea! Finally, Beca, sixteen years old, artistic and musical but not good at lessons, constantly at odds with perfectionist Elin who sees education as a gateway to the world, she knows she is about to fail all her GCSEs and disappoint her mother, again. The story alternates between the perspectives of four incredibly enthralling and complex characters, each with their own tribulations that hinder their ability to connect with each other. All Grace wants is peace in her family, but the story exhibits how redemption is hard earned, by both the reader and the characters themselves. Through the lens of generational trauma, Jones creates a space for conversations on topics such as alcoholism, sexuality, and abuse. I must be very careful about spoilers in this delicious novel revolving around this family so full of resentment, long-held anger, prodigal daughters, and cold-water swimming. When I started the book, I wasn’t that sure about the characters as Grace is easy to understand and love, however, the same can’t be said for her granddaughter, beautifully portrayed as a Head Teacher, following in her grandfather’s footsteps, whereas her daughter hates school and the tension between the two is palpable.
