Everything I Never Told You: by Celeste Ng | Summary & AnalysisThis is a Summary & Analysis of Everything I Never Told You. Celeste Ng's engaging read is a many-layered novel about family, race, secrets and love. When Marilyn Walker and James Lee meet at college in the late 1950's, a mixed-race relationship is something unusual and socially questionable. But for Marilyn, who is white, and James, who is Chinese, it fulfills their deepest needs. They marry and raise a family in a time of intense social and historic change—women are abandoning their traditional roles, humans are exploring space—but some things, like prejudice and desire, stay the same.The story begins in the mid-seventies, a time of political and social upheaval, when many parts of life formerly taken for granted are uncertain and subject to change. This is the milieu in which Lydia Lee vanishes one night. The reader knows from the first line that Lydia is dead; what happened to her is not the mystery. The mystery is how it happened. Was it a suicide? Accident? Did someone kill her? If so, who? And why?This is a novel that is sure to find its place on yearly Best Of lists. Rarely does a first novel cover all the necessary bases so completely.This companion to Everything I Never Told You also includes the following:
