From the author who brought us to tears with her international bestseller, A Little Life, comes the highly anticipated novel you should immediately add to the top of your ‘to read’ pile. It’s a fin-de-siecle novel – 720 pages split between three different versions of the American experience: 1983, 1993, and 2093. As the different stories weave together in unexpected and enthralling ways, we experience the rawness that comes to fruition at the turn of each century. Hanya Yanagihara has done it again, expertly tackling complex themes of power, disease, wealth, family, race, and nationhood in a story about the human experience. To Paradise is nothing short of a time-bending masterpiece; a modern classic driven by the innate human desire to protect those we love and the devastation that follows when we fail to do so.
