As a Chinese boy growing up in 1950s America, James Lee is still battling insecurities about belonging and racism- and he pushes these attitudes on his children while they grow up. The story is told from various viewpoints, but in particular it looks at Lydia’s mother and father, Marianne and James, her brother Nath, and her sister Hannah.Īs the book goes on, it is clear that every member of the Lee family has their issues- and these issues have been affecting the family unit for a long time. The book then considers the aftermath of her death, how the family copes with the loss- and it goes back in time to the events leading up to Lydia’s disappearance and death, and even considers when Lydia’s mother and father first met. ‘Everything I Never Told You’ is about a young girl, Lydia Lee, who goes missing at the start of the novel. ![]() I recently finished reading ‘Everything I Never Told You’ by Celeste Ng, and after loving ‘ Little Fires Everywhere‘ by the same author I was excited to delve back into another Celeste Ng novel. ![]()

![]() ![]() Hades is a complex character and the author’s note description made me even more curious for future books (I’m awaiting the day I can get my hands on A Game of Retribution in 2022). Hecate and Hermes are the closest things Hades has to “friends”, and they love to tease and torment and troll each other. While his interactions with mortals were definitely intense, his interactions with the other gods, Hecate and Hermes especially were amusing. The bargains he makes with mortals usually come from a genuine desire to help and to spare them from a painful afterlife. History painted Hades as a dark and cruel god, but this book offers an almost “behind the scenes look” at his motivations and how he runs the Underworld. Readers are given a peek into what Hades’ day-to-day looks like, and it is so interesting. ![]() ![]() The story told through the perspective of the grumpy lord of the Underworld was so much more fun! Please note - Prospective readers should be aware that the spice level for this book would make it unsuitable for readers under the age of 18. I felt that the story told through Persephone’s perspective was so-so (it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t knock my socks off).

The arrival of a new Chirri & Chirra book is always. The real pleasure comes from the imaginitive flourishes, like the game of marbles played with the ‘frozen buds of many kinds of flowers.’ These marbles are later taken into a hot spring where they melt and the flowers bloom. Illustration by Kaya Doi from Chirri & Chirra: The Rainy Day. Much about this world is familiar, even for readers with only a passing knowledge of Japanese children’s books the multitude of happy animals, the idyllic natural setting and the fantastical elements.

Vanasco obsesses over details, events, conversations-are they remembered correctly? Do they help demonstrate who her father was? What emerges in her attempts to answer these questions is not only a rich portrait of a flawed man who meant the world to his youngest daughter, but a rich portrait of her own humanity. The book isn’t plot driven it doesn’t try to create a single, simple, chronological narrative. “Describing my dad through the metaphor of his eye comes easy encapsulating him in plain language feels impossible.” The title alludes to her father’s “glass” eye, which she only fixated on after he died. How does she grieve over this tremendous loss? How does she encompass his life story (and hers) in a book? Vanasco acutely and poignantly maps her struggle with the process of writing the book as well as the struggles which make up its content. ![]() It is, foremost, a memoir, documenting the life and death of Jeannie’s beloved father through the lens of Jeannie herself. ![]() Over the next ten years, Jeannie Vanasco attempted to fulfill that promise: numerous attempts to write about her father, all called The Glass Eye, followed this powerful book is the culmination of that project. “The night before he died, I promised my dad I would write a book for him.” ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Nancy drew the clue in the diary![]() ![]() ![]() Fearing its occupants may be trapped in the blazing building, they rush to the rescue-and unexpectedly find themselves confronted with a mystery that seems to be insoluble.
