Amazon.com has selected Celeste Ng's "Everything I Never Told You" as the best book of 2014 in print format. The online retailer describes the book as an exquisite debut novel ...
" ... about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle daughter, a girl who inherited her mother’s bright blue eyes and her father’s jet-black hair. 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 center of every party."
Ng is a winner of the Pushcart Prize and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
