"Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet. So begins the story of this exquisite debut novel, about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. A profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, exploring the divisions between cultures and the rifts within a family, and uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another" -- Provided by publisher.

Review of 'Everything I Never Told You' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. It's not fast paced or filled with excitement but it's filled with characters who felt real - so very real - and we were allowed into their heads during some pretty hard times.

I didn't think I'd like this book nearly as much as I did but it really moved me. I'm sad to be done with it.

I recorded a video review on my website where I say pretty much the same thing.
