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.

读后感
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...
评分生活在温哥华，对种族的差异，移民的烦恼，有深入体会，我特别关注移民题材的文学作品。我发现，在北美，移民矛盾突出的族裔主要是亚裔和拉丁裔，其他的种族似乎没有这么明显，可能他们的文化趋同。华裔女作家谭恩美的《喜福会》，我读过好几遍，母女之间既有深沉执着...

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Not a happy book, didn't offer me closure either.
评分感情细腻结构精巧的小说，让我想起巴别塔之犬。作者是美籍华人又写的是华人家庭的故事所以特别关注。
评分It is not a horror story talking about who killed Lydia but is a portrait of an American-Chinese family against the background of 1970s in US. No one killed her but every one in this story and the whole society killed her.
