Description
A sweeping novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of America, To Paradise is a bold and brilliant exploration of love, family, loss, and the elusive promise of utopia. In this enthralling and ingenious symphony, three sections are woven together, each set in a distinct America: one in 1893, where the fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means; another in 1993 Manhattan, besieged by the AIDS epidemic, where a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father; and a final one in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, where a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances. Through its exploration of the qualities that make us human - fear, love, shame, need, loneliness - To Paradise is a work of emotional genius, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking portrayal of the complexities of human experience.
