Heinrich BÃ¶ll,Leila Vennewitz
First published in 1953, ,And Never Said a Word, is one of Heinrich BÃ¶ll's finest novels. He explores the extremities of marriage with depth and compassion. BÃ¶ll evokes an entire emotional world in the space of a day and a half, as husband and wife alternately relate this story of love and isolation, poverty and injustice. Weakness, as well as strength, provides the subtle emotional threads that weave the bonds of their love; married life, they discover, takes a far greater toll on all those who truly love than on those whose hearts are empty. BÃ¶ll writes with a moral resonance that extracts significance from the most commonplace lives.
