“Diana Altman is a brilliantly clever novelist.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Altman’s writing is thoughtful and articulate...The author speaks with sophistication and style about the experiences of American women in the recent past.”
Graham Hillard, editor, the Cumberland River Review
“In its finely observed depiction of family dynamics, We Never Told reminds me of Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping or Richard Ford’s Canada. This is a compelling novel that deserves to be widely read.”

Cintra Wilson, author, Fear and Clothing
“Diana Altman’s We Never Told is a fascinating look into an outwardly glamorous, inwardly fractured family, whose bonds are undermined by decades of secrecy. Ms. Altman’s prose is wise, comforting, absorbing, and generous. We Never Told is a deeply interesting, quietly astonishing novel. ”
The Scarsdale Inquirer
“Every house has ghosts as long as every family has secrets. This is something Westchester native and author Diana Altman knows well. Her newest novel, We Never Told, examines her family’s own truths in a painfully honest way that shows Altman’s ability to craft artful stories in the sweet spot between fantasy and the truth.”
