‘There was no laughing and joking that morning. There could be no relief, no celebration of a fruitful life lived to a natural conclusion. That had never been an option.’

It begins at a funeral, where the truth is hidden away inside the pages of a book no one was ever meant to read. But these words were never destined to stay silent. They are words with the power to make some sense of a girl’s life and death and reveal secrets that are terrible and beautiful enough to condemn and redeem both the guilty and the innocent.

Part nine of the Diamonds collection of short stories and a sequel to Lily Green and Hello, Emptiness, Revelations is a story about grief, revenge, and the power of words and love.
