BlaineI am stunned that this is Celeste Ng's first novel. I was instantly drawn into this book, with its beautifully drawn characters and superb writing. On its surface, the story is a mystery: What led to the death of Lydia Lee, a sixteen-year-old honor student with (supposedly) everything to live for In reality, the mystery goes far deeper, into the lives of each member of the family. By the end of the book, the reader is fully in sympathy with each character.The novel, which takes place in the late 70s, begins with Lydia's death. Was it murder Was it suicide Or was it something else The reader spends most of the novel thinking one thing, only to be surprised at the end with the truth. The author delves into the lives of each family member: James, the father, who never felt really at home in any situation; Marilyn, the mother, whose dreams were shelved by the demands of marriage, family, and the times; Nathan, the older brother, whose brilliance is overlooked; Lydia, the golden child burdened with all the frustrated aspirations of her parents; and Hannah, the overlooked afterthought of a child, a silent but keen observer of everyone in her family. (I was torn between imagining the author as Lydia or as Hannah; I suspect she is an amalgam of both.)Many chapters in this novel focus on just one character, telling the story from his or her point of view. The reader is led to an understanding of just how profoundly even the best intentions can go terribly awry. Once again, we see people living out their own frustrated dreams through their children, who may or may not be on board. The term "helicopter parent" comes to mind, though this idea was not in vogue until the 90s. In addition, issues of race in America and women's roles are explored through the parents, James and Marilyn, who came of age in the 60s and early 70s at the height of the sexual and civil rights revolutions. Even gay identity comes into play, and remember that this novel is set in 1977, not 2014.I am compelled to praise the writing of this book. Both psychologically astute and poetic, it draws the reader into the story and evokes sympathy and awe. We see the devastating grief that overtakes each member of the family as he or she tries to see why Lydia died and what he or she may have done to prevent it. I also loved the way the author treated memory, that old deceiver, who smoothes out that which we cannot bear to recall.I do not think this book is marketed as a YA novel, but it is certainly a book that parents and teenagers may profitably read and discuss together. The issues are fresh and relevant, and I can imagine that meaningful discussions and insights may result. Highly recommended for all readers 14 and above.547 of 584 people found the following review helpful.A tour de force in storytelling...By James HillerHow is it possible that this is a first novel It is so exquisite, so marvelously perfect, so regally quiet and elegant that surely, it must come from the hands of a old soul author. But no. This is Celeste Ng's first novel, and in it, she has painted such a deeply felt, original story. This book shall remain with me for the rest of my days.Everything I Never Told You is a story of secrets, of love, of longing, of lies, of race, of identity, and knowledge. The story begins with the death of Lydia, daughter of Marilyn and James, which is told in the first sentence and slowly revealed through the book. Her death drives the narrative, and yet, this story is bigger, grander than this central mystery. Marilyn wanted to defy society's narrow vision of her life and become a doctor, while James is trying to overcome humble beginnings and a society judging him based on his race. Together, they conventions, marry and create a family. Nathan, oldest son on his way to Harvard, Lydia, the middle sister and favorite one, and Hannah, truly growing up invisible. Together, Ng has created a complex, complicated family that rings so true on every page. There isn't a false note in the story.Perhaps the power of this book lies in the writing of Ng. Her prose is lyrical and light, allowing you to float in the scenes, often between characters, as if you are a literary ghost spying on these people. She moves her story along when it needs to, and allows certain scenes to linger when needed. The effect is magnificent. She also embues the realities of racism, that appropriately jar the reader, which at first seem to be just a "matter of the times" (she painfully uses the word Oriental to describe people) but in reality plays a bigger role in the story. I appreciated it.By the time you read the final page, you realize Ng has managed to create such a reality, and that when it ends, there is a sense of loss. Much like the family must deal with the loss of Lydia, we must deal with the loss of these imperfect and real people. This book reveals much, about them, about us, about our country, about our society. It is a book that begs for conversation, that begs to be discussed, interpreted, and argued over. It is a book that will be with you for a long time.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.24 of 25 people found the following review helpful.A wake-up call but did it have to be so depressingBy Eva Melusine ThiemeI found this book mostly very sad. It’s basically about family and the many misunderstandings that build up over the years of living together. The story is also a warning about the dangers of projecting on our kids our own desires and ambitions. If you’re a parent, you’ll most likely feel guilty on that front when reading this book.It’s also about the difficulties of fitting in when you’re different, and whether fitting in is even desirable. The story is set in an earlier era, the 1970s, and one likes to think that since then we’ve come a long way in terms of tolerating mixed-race relationships. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist but the drama surrounding the racial issues seems overstated even for those times.The book is not entirely sad - there is some hope to be had that we can come to our senses, that we can still make changes in our attitudes, even if it seems as if it’s too late. But mostly it made me sad to think that such tragedy could come from an accumulation of many rather small misunderstandings added up over time. In that sense Everything I Never Told You serves as a wake-up call to rush to your loved ones and hug them and tell them you love them unconditionally. I’m grateful for that wake-up call in form of this rather depressing book.But in terms of storytelling and characters, this book is somewhat deficient. That an entire family would lead such a depressing and friendless life, that they would at times make such bad choices, that they would all be so engulfed in their own personal drama and not cheer up a little bit more, is just not that believable. This book arrived on my radar together with All the Light I Cannot See and I more or less read them back to back. This one can’t hold a candle to the other, in my opinion. I’m glad I read it, and that it made me reflect on my role as a parent, but in the end it won’t be on my list of favorite books.See all 3584 customer reviews...
