I ended up buying this book, her previous, in either one of those cheap or freebie deals iBooks have, as a promo. But it’s the youngest in the family – Hannah – who observes far more than anyone realises and who may be the only one who knows what really happened.Įverything I Never Told You is a gripping page-turner, about secrets, love, longing, lies and race.Īlmost two years ago, I read Little Fires Everywhere, and absolutely loved it, like pretty much everyone else. Lydia’s older brother, Nathan, is convinced that local bad boy Jack is somehow involved. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to make someone accountable, no matter what the cost. When Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, James is consumed by guilt and sets out on a reckless path that may destroy his marriage. Her father is an American born of first-generation Chinese immigrants, and his ethnicity, and hers, make them conspicuous in any setting. But Lydia is under pressures that have nothing to do with growing up in 1970s small town Ohio. 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 centre of every party. Lydia is the favourite child of Marilyn and James Lee a girl who inherited her mother’s bright blue eyes and her father’s jet-black hair.
