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. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle daughter, a girl who inherited her mother’s bright blue eyes and her father’s jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue—in Marilyn’s case that her daughter become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James’s case that Lydia be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the center of every party.
When Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together tumbles into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart. James, consumed by guilt, sets out on a reckless path that may destroy his marriage. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to find a responsible party, no matter what the cost. Lydia’s older brother, Nathan, is certain that the neighborhood bad boy Jack is somehow involved. But it’s the youngest of the family—Hannah—who observes far more than anyone realizes and who may be the only one who knows the truth about what happened.
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.

读起来还真的蛮简单的,估计集中精神看两天最多也可以翻完。没有想象中那么好,书的精华大概是Lydia跳河那一段吧。
评分三星,amazon的推荐水准...不太合我的胃口。小说里写实的部分虽然有,但是cliche的部分有点多。
评分Cliché大集锦
评分无法融入的时候第一反应是责怪别人不够包容,怕就怕自己总是先别人一步察觉自己的不同,并且把社会的不宽容作为解释一切的理(jie)由(kou)。

评分 评分说实话,这不是一本阅读体验很愉悦的书。 开篇,作者就让女主角莉迪亚死了。 一个青春期的美丽女孩,成绩优异,父母兄长疼爱,是什么让她选择了在别人酣睡的深夜走向了湖面,最后落水而死。 故事从莉迪亚的父母开始。一个哈佛华裔学生,家庭赤贫,他靠着天赋一路学霸到了哈佛...
评分这本书我只看了大半,便兴致勃勃地把这个故事讲给身边的家人和心理咨询的朋友们听,我一遍又一遍不厌其烦地叙述这个故事,还要告诉他们,这本书的开头是从哪里开始的,这故事的结构是如何精巧,作者的叙述是如何高明……而他们每一个人听完我的讲述,都对这本书感兴趣,这足以...
评分读这本小说的时候,正是今年高考出分、考生填报志愿的关头。听爸妈说,今年又有失意的考生选择了轻生。好事者传言,勾勒出了这女孩的轮廓。不错,一个莉迪亚。平日里品学兼优,成绩一直不错,高考时失误,一本线都没上,受不了打击,绝尘一跃,生命在一片血色中化为乌有。 也...
