Women's Fiction
Two Chinese-American sistersβMiranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sisterβs 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 againβbut only Lucia can decide whether she wants to be saved. The bonds of sisterly devotion stretch across oceansβbut what does it take to break them? EVERYTHING HERE IS BEAUTIFUL is, at its heart, an immigrant story, and a young womanβs quest to find fulfillment and a life unconstrained by her illness. But itβs also an unforgettable, gut-wrenching story of the sacrifices we make to truly love someoneβand when loyalty to oneβs self must prevail over all.
