To Paradise | Hanya Yanagihara

pick

The writing is excellent of course, each of the stories capturing humanity and compassion. Each story(or should I say book!) echoed the others, with common names, themes and location-an NYC of the past and future, imagined and real. Characters often have little agency, complicated love, struggle with family, illness, grief. But after investing so much time, I ended up feeling a little like I was at arms length from what the book was trying to say.

Thanks to @BookNAround for telling me about this book two (three?) years ago ♥️
I‘ll never understand the hate, the horrible treatment, the abandonment. It wasn‘t their fault, but they were blamed anyway. I‘m thankful for this book, and I‘m thankful for the sadness because it means I won‘t forget ♥️
