#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the award-winning, best-selling author of the classic A Little Life—a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia.

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • ESQUIRE • NPR • GOODREADS


To Paradise is a fin de siècle novel of marvelous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara’s understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love—partners, lovers, children, friends, family, and even our fellow citizens—and the pain that ensues when we cannot.

In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him—and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearances.

These three sections comprise an ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and of nationhood; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful, and of revolutionaries; the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise, and the gradual realization that it can’t exist. What unites not just the characters, but these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness.

Great readers, an extraordinary story and many twists and turns that seem to weave a bet that stretches over place and time.

moving story, intense characters, sad picture of the future, much to think about, almost as good as a little life but very different, very talented speakers. the author is one of the best contemporary writers in my opinion. thanks for this story & story telling!

great piece of art!

Boy I had a hard time enduring book 1 - too far fetched for my taste and then book 2 and 3 definitely made up, turned out to be quite entertaining

Me atrapó desde un inicio. La estructura de los capítulos propone la posibilidad de mundos paralelos en donde los mismos personajes siguen caminos diferentes y al seguirlos son también distintos aunque preservan algunos rasgos, no solo su nombre. Me gustó también que sean las islas (Hawaii, el Reino Unido) los posibles paraísos de los personajes.
La producción del audiolibro es magnífica.

Magnífica!

I picked up this book after "A little life" broke my heart and captivated me for some time and thus, my expectations for this book were high. However, I just really could not get into it. I really did not connect to the protagonist and the themes of the book did not resonate with me somehow. Not a bad book, just not for me.

The narrator was great, though.

Just not for me
