Everything I Never Told You - Celeste Ng

Product Description(Amazon.com)
“Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet.” So begins this exquisite novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

MY THOUGHTS: This is my book clubs choice for July.  Very moving book.  It looks into the lives of this family so thoroughly, I can almost feel them.  The children at odds with their parents, the parents wanting so much more for the children.  And then you throw in the problem of a mixed marriage and the whole thing just spins out of control.  This is a very moving book.  I highly recommend it.

This book is also for 1 of my reading challenges.  The Full House Challenge
