Everything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T Lee
‟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. . . If you love anyone at all, this book is going to get you. -USA Today A dazzling novel of two sisters and their emotional journey through love, loyalty, and heartbreak Two Chinese-American 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 Lucia starts hearing voices, it is Miranda who must find a way to reach her sister. Lucia impetuously plows ahead, 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? Everything Here Is Beautiful is, at its heart, an immigrant story, and 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.Mira T.Lee's writing has appeared in a number of literary magazines and journals, including The Missouri Review, The Southern Review, Harvard Review, and Triquarterly. The Massachusetts Cultural Council granted her an Artist's Fellowship in 2012, and she has received special mention for the Pushcart Prize twice. She is a Stanford University graduate who currently resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her husband and two children. This is her first book.
