    The One Thing We've Never Spoken...

    An investigation into the failings of Australia’s mental healthcare system, grounded in a personal story of a mother–daughter relationship 
     
    Journalist Elfy Scott grew up in a household where her mother’s schizophrenia was rarely, if ever, spoken about. They navigated this silence outside the family home too; for many years, this complex mental health condition was treated as an open secret. 
     
    Over the past two decades, we have started talking more about common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. But complex conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and psychosis have been left behind, as have many of the people who live with these conditions or who care for them. 
     
    Part memoir, part deep-dive investigation, The One Thing We’ve Never Spoken About is filled with rage at how our nation’s public discourse, emergency services and healthcare systems continue to fail so many people. It is also a work of care, telling the little-heard stories of people who live with these conditions and work at the front lines of mental health. Above all, this timely, compelling book is informed by hope and courage, breaking down taboos and asking big questions about vulnerability, justice and duty of care. 
     
    ‘Expansive and generous … brimming with kindness, revelatory accounts and wit. The book itself is a thing of grace.’ Rick Morton 
     
    ‘Elfy brings empathy, reason and generosity to a book Australia so desperately needs.’ Zara McDonald

    If you think Joan Rivers said funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things ONSTAGE, wait ’til you read the funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things she said OFFSTAGE … things that will make you laugh out loud … and keep Melissa in therapy for the foreseeable future. 
     
    The only thing my mother loved more than making people laugh was lying … or as she’d say, “embellishing.” Her motto was: “Why let the truth ruin a good story?” 
     
    This book contains some of those stories.

    Actor Rahul Bose lends his golden voice to some ethereal love letters written by some great personalities from the bygone era.
    
    Napolean Bonaparte (1763 – 1821) was not just a brilliant military mind and a feared ruler, but was also a prolific writer of letters. He reportedly wrote as many as 75,000 letters in his lifetime, many of them to his beautiful wife, Josephine, both before and during their marriage. This letter, written just prior to their 1796 wedding, shows surprising tenderness and emotion from the future emperor.
    
    Paris, December 1795
    
    I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?… My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
    
    You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
    
    Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.
