Description
Lydia is dead. But they don't know that yet... Sixteen-year-old Lydia (the middle and most beloved of three children) must cope with the pressure from her parents, who want to fulfill their own unfulfilled dreams and desires for a social career. Her father comes from a closed community of first-generation Chinese immigrants in America, while her mother is an ordinary American woman who failed to become a doctor. When Lydia is found drowned in the middle of a lake one day, no one can understand how and why it happened. An investigation begins, in which paradoxically the youngest of the children – daughter Hannah – retains the most common sense... A disturbing and tragic story of a Chinese-American family living in suburban Ohio won the prestigious Amazon Book of the Year award in 2014.
