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 is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. 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.

评分前半部分冗长,只有后面真相逐渐浮出水面那块比较intriguing,有点侦探小说的感觉。主题很大,用力过猛。一本读一遍足矣的quick-read.

评分读完了都不知道自己有没有读完的压抑作品,悬念设置不错,到家庭伦理和文化差异的表现相当压抑,故事中父母的言行背后都是淡漠的反讽。本来就心情不好,耐着性子看完后简直是解脱。
伍绮诗用这本写了6年的这本小说告诉你:喏,这就是家庭,一个带着中国味道的美国家庭。我甚至觉得她在讲述家庭上有了点李安的味道,在看似融洽的生活中却有着无声的忍受,人们愿意因为爱的承诺而妥协、牺牲,会因为害怕失去而顺从。可是,爱的倾斜成为沉重的负担。书中的一些描...
