This is a beautifully sad piece of writing. Upon finishing it, I felt a need to just reflect on life and ask myself a few questions. It truly stirred me within. There is a great deal within the pages of this book for people from all sorts of backgrounds and circumstances to relate to. So much humanity.

I liked the way and order in which the story was revealed, intriguing! The writing was simple, not as in boring (at all), but more in a realistic way, and easy to relate to (altho bilingual, French is my first language, so if the writing is too poetic or "decorative", it can get confusing). Characters were lovable, but also had flaws, which is something I appreciate in novels. I look forward to another book from Ng!

Inhalt: Ohio, 70er Jahre. Die scheinbar wohlgeordnete Welt der Familie Lee gerät aus den Angel, als die sechzehnjährige Lydia verschwindet und zwei Tage später tot aufgefunden wird. Mord oder Selbstmord? Ihre Mutter und ihr Bruder glauben an ein Fremdverschulden. Ihrem Vater, Sohn chinesischer Einwanderer, bricht vor Trauer das Herz. Nur die jüngere Schwester ahnt etwas von Lydias Problemen. Was bedeutet es, sein Leben in die Hand zu nehmen? Welche Kraft hat all das Ungesagte, das Menschen oft in einem inneren Abgrund gefangen hält? Schreibstil: bildhaft – verschiedene Perspektiven und Zeitformen Meine Meinung: Die Story ist vielschichtig, berührend und gefühlvoll, ohne pathetisch zu sein. Erzählt aus den Perspektiven der einzelnen Familienmitglieder, inkl. der verstorbenen Lydia, taucht der Leser in die jeweilige Gefühlswelt ein und entwickelt Verständnis für die Figuren sowie ein tiefes Mitgefühl für Lydia, die zur Projektionsfläche der unerfüllten Wünsche ihrer Eltern wird. Der Vater James, mit chinesischen Wurzeln, wünscht sich für seine Kinder nichts sehnlicher als soziale Integration. Die Mutter Marilyn, aus der ethnischen Mehrheit, möchte verhindern, dass Lydia wie sie in einem Leben als Hausfrau (ver)endet. Dabei fragte niemand nach Lydias Lebensträumen. Hinzu kommen die Probleme einer Familie, die aus verschiedenen ethnischen Wurzeln erwächst. Denn auch wenn alle in der Familie so tun, als wäre dieses Anderssein normal und kein Problem, spricht das gesellschaftliche Umfeld eine komplett andere Sprache. Gefangen zwischen elterlichen Wünschen und gesellschaftlicher Ablehnung bleibt vieles unausgesprochen und nur der Leser erfährt von Lydia, was sie nicht erzählte. Fazit: Ein eindringliches Familienporträt und tiefsinniges Sittengemälde der amerikanischen Gesellschaft Eine Empfehlung für Leser mit einer Vorliebe für Familien- und Entwicklungsromane

This book is exquisitely written and an absolute joy to read. A book about a dead child is a book I would normally avoid but strangely I didn’t find this book harrowing. Perhaps this was because the journey to discover why Lydia drowned was so absorbing but also, for me anyway, I felt little sympathy for her parents and couldn’t feel their grief as a result. The expectations of Lydia Lee’s parents were diametrically opposed and fired solely at Lydia, the blue eyed girl. Her mother wanted her to be different from other girls and her father desperately wanted her to fit in. No wonder she imploded. They repeated the mistakes of their parents which I can understand but their coldness towards Nathan and Hannah made me dislike them. I think that Ng brilliantly, in a very understated way, describes the relationship between Lydia and Nathan; the unspoken things between siblings, the knowledge that Lydia had all the love and expectations focused on her, and the understanding that this was both wonderful and terrifying. Lydia spoiling Nathan’s moment of glory when he is accepted into Harvard is frightening. The portrait of little Hannah was heart wrenching and I so wanted to give her a cuddle. I was curious as to how old she was meant to be. She felt timeless and was the most functioning person in the family, although ignored and forgotten. I did wonder how she could be so loving when she obviously hadn’t really mattered to her parents or her brother and sister.
