Of course, no one’s work is more like Celeste Ng’s than Celeste Ng’s own. Her debut novel portrays a Chinese-American family in the aftermath of the tragic drowning of their daughter Lydia. Written in the format of a crime-thriller, but with the psychological depth of a literary novel, Everything I Never Told You is a brilliantly constructed page-turner that whips along, all the while carefully unpeeling layers of a complicated family struggling to succeed in a sometimes-hostile 1970s America.
