Hello Beautiful |
by Ann Napolitano |
Praise For This Book |
"Radiant and brilliantly crafted ... Napolitano's [work] resists the easy satisfactions of the sentimental and never settles for simple answers to emotional predicaments faced by her characters."-The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Another tender tearjerker ... Napolitano chronicles life's highs and lows with aching precision. In her piercingly tender new novel, Hello Beautiful, best-selling author Ann Napolitano catalogues the multitudes of love and hurt that families contain, and lays bare their powers to both damage and heal... . Hello Beautiful will make you weep buckets because you come to care so deeply about the characters and their fates... . [Napolitano] compels us to contemplate the complex tapestry of family love that can, despite grief and loss, still knit us together. She helps us see ourselves-and each other-whole."-The Washington Post "This powerfully affecting novel illustrates [that] love and luck don't always intertwine."-People "This sumptuous family saga is one of those rare novels whose singular characters are so beautifully rendered, it's as if they're your best friends, and you're grateful to be in their orbit. Napolitano's homage to Little Women, albeit set in late-20thcentury Chicago, will prompt you to slow down as you read, never wanting the book to end. When it does, prepare for tears."-Oprah Quarterly "Ann Napolitano's new novel, Hello Beautiful, is exactly that: beautiful, perceptive, wistful. It's a story of family and friendship, of how the people we are bound to can also set us free. I loved it."-Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace |
