To be honest I haven't read such an overwhelming novel in ages. Well technically any novels just to be fair. It has everything a thriller should have: A missing/dead girl, a seemingly normal family that had something weird buried in somewhere, a strange b...

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.
三星半,悬疑部分其实并没有太过于出彩,青少年朦朦胧胧的感情更是败笔。对于跨种族婚姻、第二代华人、女性社会地位提升描写倒是挺好的。特别是Marilyn气急之下指责华裔丈夫只会向别人叩头时,所有的矛盾尽在不言中。

评分"How suffocating to be so loved." Doomed to drown.
评分太压抑了。就想快点读完逃离这个故事。除了父母以外,里面关于race的描写又很贴切真实,真实到刺眼。
评分"You loved so hard and hoped so much and then you ended up with nothing." -- "Everything I never told you" is definitely a good book. It successfully made me feel really angry and heartbroken while I was reading. I cannot describe too much, it is absolutely worth reading. The author, Celeste Ng is an American Chinese.
