Synopsis
A dazzling novel of two sisters and their emotional journey through love, loyalty, and heartbreak Two sisters-Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sister's protector; Lucia, the headstrong, unpredictable one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing. When their mother dies and Lucia starts hearing voices, it is Miranda who must find a way to reach her sister. But Lucia impetuously plows ahead, marrying a big-hearted, older man only to leave him, suddenly, to have a baby with a young Latino immigrant. She moves her new family from the States to Ecuador and back again, but the bitter constant is that she is, in fact, mentally ill. Lucia lives life on a grand scale, until, inevitably, she crashes to earth. Miranda leaves her own self-contained life in Switzerland to rescue her sister again-but only Lucia can decide whether she wants to be saved. The bonds of sisterly devotion stretch across oceans-but what does it take to break them? Told in alternating points of view, Everything Here Is Beautiful is, at its heart, the story of a young woman's quest to find fulfillment and a life unconstrained by her illness. But it's also an unforgettable, gut-wrenching story of the sacrifices we make to truly love someone-and when loyalty to one's self must prevail over all., A tender but unflinching portrayal of the bond between two sisters." --Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "There's not a false note to be found, and everywhere there are nuggets to savor. Why did it have to end?" -- O Magazine "A bold debut. . . Lee sensitively relays experiences of immigration and mental illness . . . a distinct literary voice." -- Entertainment Weekly "Extraordinary . . .

    The Flexi dog leash arrived yesterday in excellent condition. It was as advertised on the website: brand new, unused, and still in manufacturer packaging. The appearance of the leash is fresh and inviting. The quality of the product is very good, and I think it is a solid value for the price paid. The shipping time was very fast; it’s always great when the seller gets the product into the mail quickly. I am pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again! Thank you.

  • Hard to relate the title with the story line.

    I recommend this book if you can get past the curse words and the sexual innuendos. The story line was good. The ending was unexpected (which I didn't like).
