Yanagihara paints a vivid picture of a future that’s both recognisable and strange, with technology advancing at a dizzying pace and the world’s elite seeking refuge in a utopian paradise that’s almost too good to be true. The main character, if there is one, is the world itself.
The story follows the lives of several characters, each navigating their own personal struggles in a world that’s both beautiful and cruel. This book is about a captivating tale of love and loss that had me hooked from page one. So, if you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, then To Paradise is the perfect pick. But don’t let that intimidate you it’s definitely worth diving into.
To Paradise is a hefty read, both in terms of its length and the emotions it evokes. I was curious to see if she would outdo herself with “To Paradise.” Moreover, I was interested to know the reasoning behind Yanagihara’s choice of title and the themes she would explore in the novel.
The author’s previous work has showcased her talent to vividly depict the emotions of her characters. The novel explores the concepts of love and loss across different timeframes and characters, making it an engaging read from the start. And, needless to say, “To Paradise” did not disappoint. Yanagihara has a unique way of hooking readers with her detailed characterizations and unconventional narratives.
After all, A Little Life, her previous novel, had left me emotionally drained yet strangely satisfied.
