A twisting tale of love, loss, and shadowed family secrets.” (Paula Hawkins, highly ranked New York Times popular author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water ) A poignant and suspenseful drama that untangles the complicated ties binding three women – two sisters and their mother – in one Chinese immigrant family and explores what happens when the eldest daughter disappears, and a series of family secrets emerge, from the New York Times best-selling author of Girl in Translation . It begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, sharp, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her dying grandmother – and then vanishes. Amy, the sheltered baby of the Lee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by a distant relative in a faraway, foreign place, and didn’t rejoin her family in America until age nine. Timid and shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister, the fierce and fearless protector who showered her with unconditional love.
