The Things We Never Said by Susan Elliot Wright

The past shapes us all.
But what happens when it hides a secret that changes everything?

in 1964, Maggie wakes to find herself in a mental asylum, with no idea who she is or how she got there.
Remnants of memories swirl in her mind -- a familiar song, a storm, a moment of violence.

In the present day, Jonathan is grieving after the loss of his father. A cold, distant man, he was not easy to love, but at least while he lived there was hope for reconciliation. Then a detective turns up on Jonathan's doorstep to question him about crimes committed long ago . . .

And as the truth is gradually revealed, both maggie and Jonathan realise that nothing is quite what it seems . . .
